Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 20, 2023

Makes as much sense as any other one.

Does the deity bless himself after sneezing?

It could have been a worst Theory instead of sneeze it could have come out to rear

That would explain the multitude of bacteria we have on the planet!

Yeah. I’ve seen this idea done in more than one science fiction or and fantasy story.

Sounds like a Nostrildamous Theory.

Maybe most of the universe came from God’s sneeze, but the black holes came from somewhere else.

Also known as the Great Green Arkleseizure.

I’m glad I’m not the only person to know this was lifted from Douglas Adams.

After she sneezed, she had to bless herself since no one else was around yet.

Gesundheit.

And notice how the crowd goes wild!

That leaves only the one other source for ‘alternate’ theories.

Didn’t Douglas Adams postulate this years ago?

For details, see Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, where they also say the universe will end with the coming of the Great Handkerchief

The Great Green Arklsiezure

So do the Flat-Earthers think that our world is a booger?

Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy had this in the opening about the origin of the universe with believers living in fear of the coming of the great handkerchief.

Not as many reporters as the Society wanted in attendance, but still more than they deserved.

And just when I thought the Big Bang Theory was gaining in the polls, along comes the Big Sneeze Theory. I guess it’s ok, seeing they are theories just trying to explain (how) it all started. Hey, look at these new James Webb Telescope images! Ooooooo.

There’s an exit right there, beside the stage, just quietly walk out…

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Many races believe that it was created by some sort of God, though the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure.

The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief, are small blue creatures with more than fifty arms each, who are therefore unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.

However, the Great Green Arkleseizure Theory is not widely accepted outside Viltvodle VI and so, the Universe being the puzzling place it is, other explanations are constantly being sought.-Douglas Adams, “The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.”

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I need a new mask.

Sounds good to me. The deity could have sneezed into their elbow, so we got lucky. Or are we headed for the great hankie of space?

One of the many theories mentioned in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe.” No, not the one printed on Earth, the real one.

Douglas Adams: “… the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief…”

Ah, the Great Green Arkleseizure theory.

42

that must be me leaving through the exit door. ;)

Cheers to all the Douglas Adams fans here!

Known, when Douglas Adams came up with it, as the “Great Green Arkleseizure” theory

Am I the only one who confuses cosmology with cosmetology?

I’m thinking that’s Fox News right there in the front.

As endorsed by the Sternutative Sortilege School of prognostication.

Before the beginning, they had not created the 4 dimensions. Its last word before the big bang and dimensional expansion was, “oops”.

thanks for remembering Douglas Adams

I’m thrilled with all the Douglas Adams references, as I came here to make one & found that he was already well represented! <3

You never know.

Further proof that the universe will expand indefinately

See also: the Great Green Arkleseizure, worshipped by the Jartravids. They fear an apocalyptic event known as the coming of the great white handkerchief.

That’s snot true.

Ah! Now we know what came before the “Big Sneeze”. Wait till Alan Guth hears this!

Lots of Douglas Adams fans in here. Maybe there is hope for humanity

Then there’s this theory…

I like it!

Forgot this was in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams proposed it earlier.

“From dust were ye made…….”

Given that some other religions emphasize the progenitor god, um, climaxing the universe into existence, this isn’t far off.

wasn’t this one hypothesis (it’s not a theory) proposed in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?

Douglass Adams rip off! The great Arkelseisure!

all of the GOP candidates will raise there hand to the question do you believe that god created the Universe with a big sneeze

And now we know why we say “God Blessed YOU”

As good an origin theory as any religion’s.

I think we’re a video game being played by some supernatural kid.

The atheists KNOW that everything is just there.

This theory is better than The Big Fart theory espoused by proctologists.

While most of us associate this as a reference to Douglas Adams’ “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”, it also appeared in “A Rose for Ecclesiastes” (1963) by Roger Zelanzy, a full decade before Hitchhiker.

Well, that’s one hypothesis. The Divine Orifice school of thought has others.

Prob’ly as good a plan as any of them out there.

Are we allergic to everything, yet?

Where did the deity come from

Every specialist thinks their field is the key to the Universe.

As good a theory as any. Despite MAGA claims, Trump did not create the universe.

And in their new religion, “Sunday is the day of Allerest.” (In quotes because I lifted it from an episode of All in the Family.)
