Seriously? God was supposed to be the answer? How lame.claymorez said:
I'd like for you to show me how any god moves mountains, was there before beginning (that is to say, before that particular god began) and explain to me how god can be so limited as to be inable to move backwards.
I suggest we get back to the riddles and not spiral this topic off into Religious debate-purgatory. A riddle with the answer "God" is subjective anyway.
Dammit, that makes more sense than your answer.claymorez said:
Also, I agree with the guy person who I forgot his name:
Who wants to solve my riddle?
Or Marble-less man's

Though I like to think helium, it doesn't have an odor, does it?
helium has a odor, also puting helium in a bucket would not make the bucket lighter.. : P (weighing a buacket filled with helium (obviously upside down so it can contain the helium..) would make it seem lighter when weighing it, but the truth is it is not the bucket that is lighter, it's the content in the bucket that is lighter.also as someone pointed out: helium is not weightless, it is just lighter than air. : p
Time doesn't exist it is a measurement humans made up to record events - it only exists in a theoretical sense. God can't move backwards because he is everything which means he occupies all off time as we call it - so it has no space to move, it can move forwards because his creation is changing. And God can destroy mountains if he could part the red seaSakSak said:
God is most probably also something humans made up, therefore he can't destroy or move mountains, and he won't be there after the end, and wasn't there before since he'll only exist as long as there are people around who thinks he does.claymorez said:Time doesn't exist it is a measurement humans made up to record events - it only exists in a theoretical sense.

Ever heard of space-time? Time is not just a human-made concept, it is a measurable dimension like lenght or width.claymorez said:
Proof please. Otherwise this remains a subjective assertion.
Great. So the name of your God is Universe. Because that is what we call 'everything'.
Space is limited to the universe. If it is universe as you are asserting, it cannot move at all: it can expand or contract but not move. Making another hint of your riddle inaccurate.
That change is towards death. So if God is the universe, God can and will die. Or rather, become impotent, as no energy remains.
Also, if God is the universe, how could it be there before its own birth?
Again, proof. I could just as well assert my cup of coffee could move mountains and was there before beginning.And God can destroy mountains if he could part the red sea
Your 'riddle' makes no sense, because it depends entirely on subjective unprovable assertions.
The dragon got stupid and didn't give the knight a drink from well 7, while being double stupid and didn't drink from well 7 after drinking from the cup the knight offered (which couldn't have been from well 7 as only the Dragon had access to that.)DragonsAteMyMarbles said:
EDIT and the Dragon forgot to actually taste what it drank, to check if he was drinking non-poisonous sea water before going to drink from well 7.
[quote = DragonsAteMyMarbles]:
A knight and a dragon live on an island.
The island has seven wells, numbered 1 to 7 - the water from each well is poisoned.
The poison from one well can be neutralised by drinking from a higher numbered well.
Well number 7 is atop an unclimbable mountain, so only the dragon can reach it.
One day, the knight and dragon have a duel. They both bring a glass of water for the other to drink, and after that they are free to do as they please until one of them dies.
Only the knight survives.
What happened?

The knight drinks water from well #1, and gives nonpoisonous water to the dragon?

It ought to be clear by now: The knight drank from well 1 before the duel, thus any poisonous drink the Dragon gave him would be neutralized along with the earlier poisonous water.SeanTheSheep said:
The knight also gave the Dragon a non-poisonous drink. When the Dragon was stupid enough to not check what it had drank, it went and drank from well 7 confident in that whatever it had drank would be neutralized but in reality poisoning itself and dying off.
EDIT: only problem with this is that the Dragon would have to be stupid (to not do the same trick) and the knight cunning (to not fall for any draconic trick and come up with this).
