There are also deaf people who can enjoy music being played as well. It is simply amazing what you do not know about this world we live in.

Brains Of Deaf People Rewire To "Hear" Music
ScienceDaily (Nov. 28, 2001) — CHICAGO (Nov. 27) — Deaf people sense vibration in the part of the brain that other people use for hearing – which helps explain how deaf musicians can sense music, and how deaf people can enjoy concerts and other musical events. "These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when ‘feeling’ music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music. The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain," says Dr. Dean Shibata, assistant professor of radiology at the University of Washington.

I never said he was deaf his entire life. I said he was able to compose music while he was deaf. You need to learn to comprehend what you attempt to read, Humpty. I realize it is a stretch for you, but give it a try for a change.

My comment was descriptive and not prescriptive if you can grasp it with your inane mind.

Moron, he was not deaf whole life. It took 20 years in his mature life to loose hearing while he was composing already as a young child. Learn something before you post your inane and imbecilic comments.

They are meaningless, that is true.

No, you have merely decided as judge, jury and executioner how to view my posts. All you have done is shown yourself to be a pompous buffoon.

Since Beethoven was himself deaf, isn't it odd that he seemed to be perfectly capable of comprehending the music he was creating?

Have any more idiotic comparisons, Humpty?

If it happened once, it can happen again. It is laughable that it ever happened at all to an all knowing, all powerful god in the first place. Being all knowing, he had to be aware it was going to occur and being all powerful, there is no way he could not have prevented it. Yet, this god who cannot abide sin, and is powerful enough to prevent the sin from occurring, allowed sin to enter his "wonderful everlasting abode". He is either not all powerful or all knowing or the most incompetent deity man has created.
