About Calvin and Hobbes
Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

I still want my Mommy when I’m sick or having a hard, stressful day and have to make some big decisions. I was lucky to have two Moms in my Mom and my Mother-in-law. I still look to heaven for their combined wisdom and comfort in every aspect of my life!

“Puddleglum2: Since we believe that the universe began as a tiny, tiny speck about 13 or 14 billion years ago and the expansion rate is not infinite, we can say that it is large but finite in expanse. But there are no known limits to its expansion (as far as we know). Space itself is expanding…”
Who is/are “we”? I don’t believe in the Big Bang Theory.
I believe the universe is 6,000-10,000 years old according to biblical chronology (allowing for ‘small’ gaps here and there).
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1
How is space expanding? How did space (or anything else) come into existence in the first place? You can claim eternal matter if you so desire, but I will claim eternal God.

“Everything has a purpose? Then why did the dinosaurs have dominion over the earth for so many millions of years? I’d say we’re no more important than the dinosaurs, and they’re long gone. We won’t be missed anymore than they are when we’re gone. (And no, I don’t believe dinosaurs existed just to make oil for modern-day humans.)”
If everything doesn’t have a purpose, why are we ‘here’? Nothing matters! Even “Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die” is only good for this temporal life and then ‘poof’ we’re gone.
BTW, I believe dinosaurs were contemporary with humans from the beginning of the creation; most of them died during the worldwide flood. Two young dinosaurs of each kind were saved in Noah’s Ark, but the conditions afterward were vastly changed. Dinosaurs could not adequately accommodate themselves to the post-flood earth and eventually became extinct.

I don’t think Mom can help you there. You better get back in your wagon and go home.
Susan001 said, about 2 hours ago
I believe Calvin & Hobbes’ reaction in the last panel is just gut instinct.
I’m sure Calvin knows his mom won’t help; she’d just brush him off or ridicule him.
I’ve read this strip for many years, and I have to admit that I detest Calvin’s parents.

This is what happens when children wander too far from home….like 35 million miles for example.

“puddleglum2:
Arguing FOR the bible FROM the bible is absurd unless you accept the bible as the word of god which I don’t.”
It seems to me that ‘absurd’ is too strong a word. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
II Corinthians 4:3,4
“For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
God forbid: yea, let God be true and every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.”
Romans 3:3,4
Since I accept the Bible as the word of God, I am obliged to use it. God can say it better than I can, but I trust that the Holy Spirit prompts me when I use my own words.
jrbj said, about 2 hours ago
Hey, Puddleglum2, you say God made the universe. Okay, who made God? You say God always was? Fine, I say existence always was. So who’s right, you or me? Actually, there’s no way to prove either side of the argument, so give it a rest and let the rest of us enjoy our cartoons.

Followers of Christianity aren’t equipped to read comics.
Followers of Christ are.

“P’Glum2:
You still managed NOT to support the assertion: “We humans are the center of God’s attention in the universe he created…”
You did mightily thump the Bible tho.”
I thought I had implied support to the ‘assertion’ with the biblical quotes and comments. Nevertheless, here is more:
God came to earth as a baby in the person of Jesus Christ and lived a sinless life thereby qualifying himself to be the vicarious atoning sacrifice on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all the world. Jesus Christ suffered eternal punishment for our sakes that we might receive eternal life through believing in Him and receiving Him as our Savior and Lord. Doesn’t that emphatically show that human beings are the ‘center of God’s attention’? What more could a holy, just, righteous, and (most of all) loving God do?
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
I wondered about your final comment, but then I thought about the term “Bible Thumpers” and decided to take it positively.

“puddleglum2: A donkey never spoke. No more than a snake did. Your God, your Jesus, is something quite extraordinary…but you need to rethink your theology. Every bit of it. A donkey never spoke.”
You’re not the first donkey that has ever spoken. :o) I’m being facetious.
I agree with one comment you wrote: “Your God, your Jesus, is something quite extraordinary…” Apparently, you don’t accept the Bible as the Word of God. You’re certainly not alone in that respect, but have you read Numbers 22-24? (I’m certainly not going to quote the three chapters.) It’s interesting and intriguing to read about Balaam and his donkey even if you don’t believe the biblical account.
I don’t know any reason to ‘rethink my theology’. In fact, the more I hear from skeptics, cynics, and naysayers such as you, the more I am confirmed in the beliefs I profess.

I suppose we could accidentally spring into existence against all odds or we could have a Creator who is outside of our existence. I can’t prove or disprove His existence. In my faith, you have to make a choice to believe and reap the consequences of the wrong choice.
Having been trained as a scientist, I have difficulty with anyone who turns scientific investigation as a faith or dogma. “Evolution”, “Big Bang”, “Global Warming”, are all part of what once was scientific investigation, but yet which are now all defended with such dogmatic fervor that I expect them to sing a closing hymn and pass the plate. I agree with Einstein: “God does not play dice.”

I come here to enjoy the comics and get a chuckle or two. I don’t come her to be preached to. When I want preaching, I can go to church.

Is there any way people can contact each other privately for such discussions without compromising their own privacy? I think that would be the best solution all around.

Calvin & Hobbes are really channeling themselves through this discussion and I DON’T mean the boy and stuffed tiger.

Puddleglum2 - I don’t care what you believe, you have a right to that.
The point is, NOBODY reads past your second paragraph. Keep it compact and to the point and you will have more impact.

jrbj,
I was answering comments directed at me from several days ago. I just answered them all in one day.
Calvin and Hobbes is more than just a comic. It provokes thoughts, ideas and comments about ‘real’ life. Everybody has his preferences. I read all the posts. Some of them are banal, trivial and not worth posting, in my opinion, but people have a right to say what they want, and so do I. At least my comments have substance whether you agree with them or not. If they don’t interest you, scroll past them, and that goes for anyone else, too. Is that too much effort?
