I haven't seen it discussed before, but it's a pretty easy principle to demonstrate. Say you want to "compress" all possible two digit numbers by replacing them with their index in pi.

No, it makes sense that the creationists are arguing this - they're trying to argue that it's mathematically impossible for the universe to have existed forever, therefore it must have come into existence at some point, and therefore(?) there must have been a Creator.
Their argument, however, is retarded.

You consider celebrities "leaders" ? They just have an impact on what people talk and think about, and if they can make people talk and think about the environment, it doesn't really matter how big their house is, or how often they use their private jet. | r/environment | comment | r/environment | 2008-07-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9OQmZ2RDBDV1F4VEJxTUwyRVdWejRVejEwaUgyNThSRFhwZUVJVDgtVDhmNFNGTDdPV2hfdGxSdHVJZmNMcG1jR2s4NXZQUjdHZG5WRGNIOTNPLWdDcEV3MFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9OQmdaeG9hZTNXZEp1ck1NNExSVlNsYUFfVGREdk5aRkdzWkZsWWhxSXlDa21mUDhNXzNobFJKbVZOdzVaVW5LcUF1MG9LTk1CRnQtSC1sOHd4N0xFeHE0aTAzY1Mzb1UwdGdhazE0ajhWWVFZazBsa2IzQkx3Nll2TTk1OVNaVlpKSUNTZ0dGMkwyTVRwWEtjVHd6d2IwNEFnWjRLMnlzQlo3emc5OVlhcUw1ektKN1RxLWFDcVdYSVo3VGU5VE5JZTZ4dDB3U2VFZGFvb2NCMHY2cXdudnFkUT09 |

Private Jet Magazine?

Is that what you call it? Seems alot more like feudalism to me. Al Gore declares that he has a divine right to jets and limos, and the rest of us have to toil in the mud and shit.

He's setting the example he wants us all to live by: a world in which the elite jaunt around in biodiesel limos and private jets, while you try to hide candles from the Eco Police hoping they'll be enough to keep your kids from freezing to death in the winter.

Carbon offsets are fraud and ought to be considered illegal.
