RE: Test my belief system

August 30, 2015 at 2:58 am (This post was last modified: August 30, 2015 at 2:59 am by robvalue.)

I'm talking about inherent purpose, an intended function from some sort of intelligence. Life was not created by an intelligence, nor is it achieving any specific goals laid out by any intelligence.

What I'm saying is that any "purpose" is merely subjective, it requires an intelligence to make that judgement. And the properties of a thing are not changed by someone's opinion of its purpose.

To put it another way, from the point of view of an intelligence not inside our reality, who doesn't care about anything that goes on in it, what does life "achieve"?
