Where did the Universe Come From? Part 4: "If you can read this sentence, I can prove to you that God exists"

See this blog I just posted, that you're reading right now?  This blog post is proof of the existence of God.    Yeah, I know, that sounds crazy.  But I'm not asking you to believe anything just yet, until you see the evidence for yourself.  All I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving while I show you my proof.  It only takes a minute to convey, but it speaks to one of the most important questions of all time.    So how is this post proof of the existence of God?    This post you're reading contains letters, words and sentences.  It contains a message that means something.

This is like a psychedelic The Lord of the Rings with Star Wars technology. BHARAT ...

Escape From Google's Clutches, Once and For All

Image
So if you're fed up with Google, and you've got a litany of reasons. You don't even have to explain—I'm just here to help you crawl out from under the shadow of the big G, step by step. You don't have to be ready to commit to a full overhaul of your online lifestyle to understand why someone might want to yank their data from Google's servers, and hand it off to someone else: You've got Google's CEO deafly rehashing fallacious arguments about privacy—"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place"—and hesitating on a drawback; you've got contextual advertising that seems just a little too closely tuned to that sexxxy love letter your girlfriend sent you while you were on that business trip; you've got that violently insane ex husband who now knows where you are because of Google's clumsy Buzz rollout. Most of all, you've got reasons, and you'r...
