Thread Name: BS: New things about atheism
Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
Mrrzy, as I said, the number of philosophical questions I have about life is simply endless. I find that my spiritual studies help me to answer them more effectively than most other lines of investigation, science included.

You say, "Why are we here? We know that. If you're thinking How did we get here? We know that too."

Oh yeah???????? Really? ;-) My goodness!

I don't think most of us have any idea why we're here...although we do have numerous interesting theories about it. I don't think most of us have any idea how humans got here in the first place either...but we do have interesting theories about that too. Evolution is just one of them, and it happens to be the most popular one right now. It may yet be replaced by a more popular one. Wait and see. ;-)

In totally prosaic terms, I am here because my mother and father conceived me through a sexual act and I was born here. Was that what you meant? If so...(yawn)...yeah, I know that, but that's not what I have questions about.
