Proof of Metagenesis? What do you believe?

I have a proposal for the atheists, creationists, and fence-sitters alike.

Describe *your* view of Second Life cosmology!

-What is the Age of Second Life?
-How did it Originate?
-Is it Round, or Flat, or...?
-Are there Gods?
-If so, what do they want from us?
-Accident, Intelligent Design or something else?




For the brave - *prove* as much as you can of your personal view of Second Life Cosmology. Impossible? That declaration requires proof too. Use nothing but in-world resources, not SL forums / website or so forth.

If there is a general consensus as to a winner, I'll send them a personally made Globe of Second Life. Globe. Heh.

Brownie points if you can prove something everyone knows to be patently wrong.

I believe that Second Life is a flat world that extends randomly when the elusive shadow government wants it to. I go to the edge of the world and suddenly I seem to go no further. I see water in the distance, yet my flying suddenly halts.

Yet, on some days I go to the edge of the world and new land exists owned by a Govenor I never saw elected. It is strange, I never see the dumptrucks bringing in the earth, and I never see the workers that create this wondrous new peice of land under my feet, but it seems that it is a Govenor of invisible men. I dare not say elves. I've met elves in their Glen and they claim to have no part in the expansion. This government is ellusive and strange. Almost as if it is run by Gods. I can pray to some of them through a Live Help ritual or a Hotline to Linden ritual, and oddly they all seem to be from the same family.

I think that long ago a giant of a king named Bob Linden gave birth to many sons and daughters. They were the chosen ones, and one day he knew they would rule the Second Life. As time went on, his great great great grandson Phillip came along and gave himself the title Govenor of Second Life.

He then went to work sending his invisible minions to and fro to create digitial grass, snow, and water. It was all meant to be a net. A net to catch fish souls and turn them into giant 3 meter high things (humans/furries/vampires/robots/aliens/etc.). That is where I came on. A fish soul just swimming through the internet space until one day I got caught in this huge web. If only I could find my way out, but everytime I get to the edge of the world, I simply find no escape. I'll continue to bang my head against the window to the exit though, I'm sure to get through if I just keep banging my head against it as I fly. Aren't I?

Huh? I thought SL was nothing but pixels and had no relation to reality. At least that is what some of the Forum Gods told me.

Thus this is all our in our minds and isn't really happening.

I dont know about the other answers, but I know the world of SL isnt flat...

But it does move !

Petty unbeliever! The Flying Spaghetti Monster created all, including any evidence that may point towards other means of creation. Why? Because the FSM loves us all - even the dwarves.

RAmen.

~it is the dawning of the age of AnsheChung....
~Second Life originated with the coming together of a server....and a Master (Phillip Linden)
~The world is flat simply because....if i tunnel down it never reaches Anshe....so...
~Gods...? hmmm, maybe.....FSM is one option, though i have never really seen Him, but i would lay bets on the God of ISP....for without Him....there would not be a connection. so instead of our god being the Higher power...He is the proverbial Middle Man....serving both creator and created.
~What He wants from Us? OUR MONEY!!!!!!
~SL is part intelligent design (oxymoron in this case) and part accident and part deviously infiltrated by other mmog's. SL is a conglomeration of nationalities, interests, perverts (said with a smile) and computer nerds.....I LOVE IT HERE>>>thus my conclussion? SL is not a World per se' but HEAVEN......I am in my twenties...can dance all night...I am built like a brick *you know what* and can be what ever i want!!!!!!! thats it...its Heaven.....wooot i have the answer...we are all dead!!!

What - even the furries?

Nice picture
From what I've heard, the core is made of molten plywood.

There was a shrine to our deity at one time in the sim called Mocha.

Damnit, Margaret - you beat me to it!

The untimely and tragic end to this shrine had a searing effect on me. I finally had to move from Mocha; the memories were too much to face day in and day out.

Second Life doesn't exist yet. We are but chimeras, models, and pilot programs in a celestial argument between Lucifer, Christ, and God over what shape, dynamic, and purpose it will take when it is finally created.

I think that's called "beta". Or maybe "evolution".

(r)evolution

Absolute proof:

There are cherubs, angels, and demons in SL.

Angels and demons come from heaven and hell.

Kris Ritter created Heaven and Hell, thus she is god!

From what I have heard in another post (can't find it right now)



Or something to that effect.

Incredible responses!

Website links are fascinating, but I don't think everyone agrees that the Internet is much of an authority on anything. Tales of creators and their god-mode powers must be confirmed in-world.

All in our minds... well could be, but that may be ultimately the most difficult thing to prove.

Flying Spaghetti Monster... well, that's a clear, unambiguous expression of faith if there has ever been one. The "proof is in the pudding" might be a relevant statement here.

The picture of the SL cube floating in majestic loneliness through space would win it I think, *provided* that's what we would see if we flew high enough. And it was pretty, too, and made me feel like we were all of one world somehow.

*Best* evidence is leaning toward the Great Cube that once existed in Mocha - multiple photos of it, *with worshippers* - now that is tending on real evidence! If it reappears again, perhaps it will perform godlike acts "for the win".

Beta versions in a celestial argument - this is disturbing. Evidence for argument should be easy enough, but questions remain: who then is Lucifer, Christ, and God in SL?

And... an explanation from a... cherub!? Now *that* is something I never expected to see. Yes, I have seen a she-devil in SL once. Without getting personal (who would truly want to verify a cherub, ick!) - I suppose the question is: can he/she be trusted?

Edit: I seem to have felt the presence of Laggnor myself; one wonders if praying to this god in some way would garner a response. If so, might we have a surprise late-leading candidate?

Hear that, Travis? We're just a miracle or two short of the win.

I wonder if Malachi is too bitter to be a believer anymore.
