I can not see any logic in your comment.
If the cosmos is..........totally indifferent to us and what we believe ..........then it means that nobody can rein in the cosmos therefore it is all a question of good or bad lack whether we will be affected by it.
Moreover when you say..........that means it doesn't give a damn........ you imply that the cosmos must have some sort of consciousness in order to express judgments.
Uhm... all a bit confusing Stimbo.
Quote:Also I have never said that "God" does not exist so I have no need to demonstrate that. You're the one who keeps asserting that it does exist, so you have the burden of proof.
I think you are making a bit of confusion.
When you say..........Tough. That's what you get for living in a cosmos that isn't even aware of your existence and wouldn't give a flying fox even if it was......you imply that you do not believe in a supreme controller of this universe or perhaps that if this controller exist he would not give a damn about what happen.
In other words you do not believe in a controller or in a controller that does his work by controlling the cosmos.
Quote:You have shown a lack of awareness in pretty much every field up to this point and have distorted everything else, deliberately or not. That you get upset when called out on it is irrelevant.
You guys have to demonstrate that your pop corn theory is valid before you tell me that i distort everything.
When you put pop corn in the machine you will notice that they all come up and out looking the same but when you get the humanity coming out YOUR evolutionary cycle they all come out totally different.
You get some black some white, yellow or red you get some born rich some poor, some sick some healthy some die soon after born some other live long lives and so on.
Now if you believe that there is no reincarnation in which people start from lower form of lives to higher form of lives and the lives are shaped according their action then it does not make sense that we get out the popping machine in totally different shapes.
I am still waiting that someone come out with a proper explanation.
