Talk:Last Thursdayism

message: This idea is in a few of Borges's stories except it's Last Second-ism. And if you gonna go with a last Thursday there is no reason why you shouldn't go with the last Second. Apparantly there's some serious theological discussion about this somewhere among some people who get serious about this kind of stuff.radek 08:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Various variants of the idea have been jumping around for a while, mainly as critiques of omphalism. I am not aware of Last Thursdayism  specificially being such a variant prior to it appearing on talk.origins, but I could be wrong. JoshuaZ 14:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There is an obvious difference between the idea that the earth was created with an apparent age and the idea that the earth was created last Thursday along with it's inhabitants' memories up to last Thursday.  One, the creation of an earth with an apparent age for purposes of its function, allows people to mislead themselves into believing that the earth is older than it is.  The other, involving the creation of memories with no basis in reality and no necessity for the functioning of the earth and its inhabitants, is an outright lie, which God is not capable of.  The first allows you to lie to yourself, while the second would be God lying to you, which he, according to the bible, would never do, in fact cannot do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ronar (talk • contribs) 04:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The fact that young earth believers claim that the first people did not have memories of the time before there creation is insignificant. It is no more or less of a lie if memories of the time before are imprinted in people's minds directly, or if they conclusively deduce that the world is older than it really is because it is made to look that way. The comparison only makes sense if we claim that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the world is in fact billions of years old , a claim which any reputable scientist will support. --King Mir 23:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

text: No, God in first case is still lying, sending into your telescope light from supernova that allegedly happened ten milion years ago - but if Earth and universe have 6000 years, this supernova never existed and have no basis in reality (your own words). God tells (by photons already "in way" in space that He created Himself) about things that never happened. Ergo, God is liar. Well, and one would wonder what "for purposes of its function" means.--83.144.95.66 19:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Greene Murder Case

message: That's debatable, and probably false. The book itself cites a book that provides both the murderer and the sleuth with the basic method. That book is real, written by a Austrian judge and criminologist Hans Gross
(Handbuch für Untersuchungsrichter als System der Kriminalistik, 1893), in which a description of an apparent murder is described that turned out to be a suicide. (The same basic plot was used by Conan Doyle in Thor Bridge.)  However, the case is anonymized in Gross's book, so the connections with a real case are probably not as clear as they may be for other of van Dine's books. Athulin (talk) 05:22, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Portal talk:Scotland/Related portals

message: The related portals section in portals should link only to those portals parallel in the hierarchy and the portal from which it descends. In this case the hierarchy is as follows: Portal:Geography → Portal:Europe → Portal:United Kingdom → Portal:England (→ Portal:London), Portal:Northern Ireland, Portal:Scotland, Portal:Wales. Thus Portal:Scotland/Related portals logically links to Portal:England, Portal:Northern Ireland and Portal:Wales as its sisters and to Portal:United Kingdom as its parent (which in turn links to Portal:Europe of which Portal:European Union is a subportal). "Related" is not always literal. I hope this somewhat clarifies any confusion.--cj | talk 09:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In that case you had better select a far better word than "related", because the Scotland portal is "related" to every other portal on Wikipedia.

thread_title:  Expanding this section 

message: Early in the article there's a mention of a "Tibullus", a Latin poet. Later in the article it talks about a Tibellus: "the elegy on Tibellus' death". Is this a typo, actually referring to Tibullus, or is Tibellus an entirely different person? I seem to remember something in the Amores about the poet's brother dying, although the more I think about it the more I think that was Catullus. Can anybody help me out?
Tibullus is Tibullus is Tibullus - there is no known 'Tibellus' to speak of.  "The elegy on Tibullus's death" refers to Am. 3.9.  I do not believe Ovid makes reference in the Am. to his brother's death — though his only brother did die when Ovid was 19, it is Catullus who notably composed a number of poems on his brother's death: namely 65 and 101.  From the latter comes the famous ending line atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale (“and on into eternity: hello, my brother, and goodbye.”  Shug2304 11:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tibellus or Tibullus? 

message: To say "However, the Amores could also be considered a mock epic." entirely misses the point of the joke. There is no way that it can be considered a mock epic: it is in elegaic couplets, Ovid states that he will put aside epic for elegy and that he will write love poems. The clever beginning to I.I is just one of Ovid's many allusions to past or contemporary authors. And even if all of this were questionable, I'd like to see a citation for the comment in the article!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.73.160.86 (talk) 01:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
