Re: The Theory of Evolution - perfect?
While I accept the theory of evolution as being explanative in a variety of cases, I still remain skeptical as to it being 100%. Here's something to consider. From the moment that the human egg gets fertilized, it goes through stages that mimics biohistory, the fish stage and other stages of life u...

Re: How do atheists find meaning in a purposeless universe?
Everything has a purpose a function, just because you don't know what that purpose is, does not mean that there is no purpose. I think the problem is that the type of 'purposes' natural selection creates are just denoted as such for conversational convenience. In reality, biological adaption does n...

Biological adaptations are not the result of 'intentions' and serve no 'purposes': they are merely functional. Leaves have no purposes, but they do have functions. Biological adaptations do have a purpose or intention, to reproduce, they do not have a goal to evolve into a particular form that does...

Re: How do atheists find meaning in a purposeless universe?
I'll have to remember to type slower for you. What are you talking about, 'meaning in a purposeless universe'? An individual can have a purpose or find a meaning for their life. The universe does not need a purpose or meaning to exist. An individual is in the universe but is not the whole of the un...

Re: Truman's folly
Au contraire!
When the Spaniards (Pizarro?) went to Atahualpa, he told them that they were not worried about such a small number of men. Atahualpa said they certainly would have killed them first if they had regarded them as a threat.
The notion of 'peace-loving' Indians is a hoax.
