I found these sites and I believe that it perfectly explains why there is no God or a maker or anything of that sort really:

https://www.livescience.com/63854-steph ... o-god.html

As you can see, the site also discusses quantum mechanics and the other theories of modern physics, such as electromagnetism.
Not everything can be explained by science, which is why I belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. One day we will all be touched by his noodly appendage. Ramen.
I thought that everyone on this site worshipped Caissa :)

I think the saddest thing about the world we live in is that there is no God or anything and that human life isn't actually precious or valuable, otherwise people wouldn't die one after the other and at such a young age.
I think "the saddest thing about the world we live in"...is that the internet - while having so many good qualities, makes it SO VERY easy to antagonize others...and that too many have no qualms about doing so.

No more to say.

I was unable to find a download page. It would be great if someone could post a link.
His website no longer exists.

Here is a link for you:

A Good Man Was Matthias Gemuh......Spent Quite a Bit Of Time On His Original site Downloading Big Lion and Taktix (A personal Favorite)... and then later on exploring the mysteries of his Chess GUI....A fantastic Lion Logo for the engine and one of the Rare African engine creators (Cameroon)....RIP Matthias!! Salute!!

ps Jesus Saves... 8-) :wink:

As a tribute, you can download some versions of Taktix and BigLion from his older web:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gemuh.com/*

Once you get there, filter typing zip to get shown ZIP files. ArcBishop80 was not saved into the WayBack Machine, disgracefully. Other web is this one (link thanks to WBEC), with the same lack of ArcBishop80 1.00. However, since this engine was tested at CCRL, it is possible that a tester still keeps it.

Chancellor was other engine by him (take a look on 2007/11/03). You can download Chancellor 1.00d from Norbert's collection.

Regards from Spain.
