don’t feel bad. It was a purely random process.

Oh, and I merged your string of questions into one comment. I hope you don’t mind.

Now, of course I don’t have a time machine, and it was pretty obvious that given the answer, at least one person was bound to ask a fitting question, and that would be the one I ‘randomly’ chose, but that doesn’t invalidate the point.

If I did have a time machine, the results would have been the same. And if so, was Dharmell’s question a result of free will? From his/her standpoint, the answer came first, and the question was no doubt designed to fit the answer.

However, where did the answer come from? It was the answer to Dharmell’s question which was randomly chosen from among all the questions. So was Dharmell powerless to ask any other question?

Hmmm, I can’t prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, but I suspect you are being sarcastic.

Ok, it’s 12:00 and I am activating my random number generator to determine which question I will answer.

And that question is…

“Who, among Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, would be the LEAST convincing if cast as Kate?” Submitted by Dharmell.

I will now travel back in time to when I wrote the above post and give my answer.

Can I throw Boba Fett into the mix? Not because I think he stands a chance, more that I would like to formally put a full-stop on the whole ‘most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy’ misnomer once and for all.

Question; what is the greatest danger facing the paper industry?
Question; where is mid-air?
Question; does water taste the same in zero gravity?
Question; if a tree falls in the woods and we all talk about it does the tree gain the status of an ‘urban myth’
Question; if not now, when?
Question; who put the bomp in the bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp?
Question; if I exit a building through the entrance, do I risk causing a collapse in the logical consistency of consensual reality?
Question; if you woke up in a hotel room with Lindsey Lohan, what alias would you give her so as to avoid persecution in the popular Press?
Question; how can you mend a broken heart?
Question; how many lightbulbs does it take to change a Surrealist?
Question; for ten points, what was the batte-cry of the famed Mongol warlord Ghengis Khan?

Besides arent we pretty sure that Faraday didnt visit Desmond the first time around. Isnt that why the memory was inserted into Desmonds mind. Thats something that has changed. If you have already explained your version of this I apolagize

We all get it. You know everything there is to know about time travel. Your my hero. Your a little to concerned about proving your theory right. Most people understand your point of view they just may have a different opinion. Last time I checked time travel is not actualy possible so it can be portrayed in many different ways. It has been pointed out that Desmond is special maybe he can change things. I personaly agree with your theory, but after reading the way you try to make everyone who diagrees with you feel stupid I hope I am wrong
