That’s just being a good person. No god required.

I’m sure the tortured masses of Unit 731 would be happy to know their suffering offered scientists more data points and we really needed kids to be raped and murdered, you know… for all the shit it teaches us.

You felt relief without actively doing anything to right any of the wrongs you thought about. That sounds like repression. How is it moral to offload your wrongdoings of others onto a diety instead of attempting to make amends with the offended?

US, 41, can (don’t)

Not only desires, but demands it and threatens eternal torture if you don’t give it to them. An important distinction.

Those are two things; evolution and abiogenesis. We have evolution well sorted, to the point where our entire understanding and implementation of biological science depends on it.

Abiogenesis is not as well fleshed out, but we are miles ahead on it now than we were even 20 years ago. Do we have a strict, proven explanation and timeline? No, not yet. Do we have nothing? Not even close. Is it worth throwing our hands up and going “I don’t know, therefore god”? I don’t think so.

I think you’ll find that most believers of intelligent design and a God being don’t think about it too hard. Obviously there are plenty of apologists in the world whos job it is to discuss and debate this stuff, but they are the faaaaar minority and most have a financial stake in the matter.

For evolution take a look at Gutsick Gibbon on youtube and for abiogensis look up Forrest Valkai. They’re both incredible educators.

Look at the trees!

The quran also says to kill infidels. You good with that?

Stopped clock and all that.

Consciousness fits most definitions of supernatural

No. In fact it quite strongly fits within the definiton of natural as we can plainly see it in our natural world and be affected by natural processes.

I believe in the possibility of a creator, be it a single omniscient/omnipresent/omnipowerful/etc being or some natural process we do not understand.

But do I have enough evidence to swear fealty to any particular thing that might occupy this role? Fuck no.

Aside from the russian shills, fine and dandy.

Walkabout Mini golf is incredible.

You did the math and realized you could get a job elsewhere.

Apparently nobody here knows what a “small thing” is.

Life has always been what you make it. If you’re looking for purpose to come to you naturally then you’ll be waiting just long enough to die.
