The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
#7
RE: The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
You begin the thread by talking about something that can be measured using manmade tools (the moon), and then try to connect that with something that can't simply be measured with tools (value). It's like the watchmaker argument. Talking about an obviously manmade object that doesn't occur in nature by itsself, and then comparing nature to that.

Value is subjective. Most people, if given the chance to save either an old person, or a child, is going to choose the child. But if that old person is someone's beloved grandfather, and that child stabbed them with a knife once, the person is more likely to save the old person.

No, there's no way you can use a simple graph to determine the value in people. It isn't objective.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
