They’re called Alpha Bits

The Prodigal Son is drawn from an ancient parable of the Particle Sun which was actually very insightful and shows that long dead societies knew more than we realized even if their science wasn’t fully developed. I explained it here a while back and you might be able to find it. I’ll summarize: The best way to describe light for the ancients was as a concentrated force residing within the sun. They theorized that not all of the sun’s energy was concentrated on Earth but that much of it went elsewhere. When some of this light missed the Earth it was destined to be gone forever……but……some small percentage…..a few particles….bounced off other nearby objects, primarily planets. These planets, of course, do not generate their own light. That light came from the sun but was only a small portion of the whole. Mars, for instance, could not be given credit although it seemed to shine in the night sky. These particles of light that bounced off Mars and allowed us to see it became known as the particle sun. They had passed Earth by and yet returned. You can see how the Prodigal Sun is an offshoot of this. At some point we came to “know” that light is not made of particles, but of waves, then it became unclear again and really isn’t completely understood even to this day. It is an example of how ancient wisdom holds up over long periods sometimes even if inexact. The Bible did a good job of taking this ancient parable and applying it to the human condition, so call Frank the Prodigal Son is appropriate but the Particle Sun is the origin and also applies.

You are aware that parts of the Bible were drawn from pre-existing parables correct?

We currently hold the number one seed and it’s hard to be optimistic? Were you hoping for the zero seed through 8 games? The negative 3 seed? The particle sun returns.

Tyler Glasgow and Dustin May say hello.

You sure seem to be enjoying it. Anyone on here mock you when Mac got hurt?

TBH I didn’t think that even you would revel in an injury and come here to mock Case Keenum but Pats fans gotta Pats fan I suppose.

Here to gloat? Classy.

I have a feeling they will be very impressive vs. Austin Peay and will fly up the rankings.

He won’t have to explain anything because they will be in the playoff again. Just wait.

Lol try again. They’re in.

How will Bama manage to get excuse-me’d into the tournament this year? It should be interesting. Maybe they will get bonus points for scheduling that tough home game against Austin Peay coming up soon.

Five kindergartners spent at least 8 minutes writing that. Have a little respect.

Kid n play fan amirite?

Livin in the city?

The Texans window didn’t have a happy ending, that is true, but it was an outlier of a situation. Seattle’s window was in fact open for years, they just failed to go through. Unlike Andrew Luck, Josh Allen is not the most overrated prospect in the history of team sports. Allen has proven both his talent and will to win. Luck was deemed, and in some circles is still regarded, as a franchise saving elite talent on the level of Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan. In reality he was the equivalent of an above average player prone to mistakes in critical moments. Drew Bledsoe-ish if that. His legend far exceeds the reality. If he didn’t retire, he’d still be “ofer”. Although I agree that nothing should be taken for granted, your examples fall short IMO.

Somewhere between 2 and fifteen. My guess is either 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 or 14.

Hopefully this 4 hours of epic failure can be turned around before this weekend.

I just looked at the standings and the Bills are listed at 6-1. It looks like the NFL somehow overlooked your definition of acceptability and awarded the Bills a win anyway. Do you think the Packers will throw a challenge flag and we’ll end up 5-2? Gosh I hope not.

But isn’t he really failing each and every individual minute that he doesn’t make a deal?

Are we living in a slow motion epic fail all day?

Did Allen throw two incompletions in a row? Trade for Baker? I asked when we needed to be able to run. Was it when we were up 3 scores?

Green Bay was back in the game?

When exactly did we need to be able to run last night?
