Can someone please explain this to me?

>In order to make apple pie you must first create the universe.

This doesn't make any god damn sense especially when you can go online and get fucking recipes for apple pie.

The full quote is actually “If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”

The "from scratch" part demonstrates the key meaning, although the statement sort of still works in an implied sense without it.

>> No.2956055

You're missing the "from scratch." We're assuming it means from really, REALLY scratch, as in creating your own atoms and molecules to build the pie with.

>> No.2956059

>>2956055
But you're creating new atoms anyway?

I used to be proud of Sagan until I found out he was an atheist scum bag upon his death.

Since the pie is made of of atoms and compounds OP, he's referring to the atomic composition of the pie.

Carl Sagan's wife said neither of them believed in God.

He died an atheist bitch.

>> No.2956091

it means that when people say they made an apple pie from scratch they really aren't
they start with apples and flour etc.. stuff that's pre-made

if you really want to start from scratch, you have to start with nothing, and invent the universe then you can make atoms, then you can make molecules, then you can make stars, then you can make planets, then you can make life on the planet, then you can get an apple and flour

Seriously, how do people fall for this low brow trolling on /sci/. I glanced at this thread once and thought it would disappear into page 16, but alas, the retards of the world appear everywhere I guess.

TL'DR - You're being trolled, poorly; and you're falling for it.

he was a cosmologist, so, no shit he was an atheist. Why rely on a god to give an answer to the big questions when that's exactly what he was investigating.

All agnostics are Atheists
All Atheists are not agnostic.
Atheist = non-Theist or lack of belief in a god.
