An alternative to atheist thought

RE: An alternative to atheist thought
(September 25, 2017 at 3:46 pm)BlindedWantsToSee Wrote: To me, denying the existence of intelligence in life, or the world, or the universe, or in energy is like denying the presence of coldness in a glass of iced tea that's full of ice.

So, intelligence exists.

We know that everything is made of matter and energy that's constantly changing form.

Logical deduction: intelligence is made of energy and matter.

Also logical deduction: energy and matter have the capacity to take the form of intelligence, and in fact they do.

But you know what? It really does not matter whether it is intelligence, or stupidity, or madness, or evil, or chaos, or something else that is causing the current state of affairs to be what it is. Something is causing our lives, the world, and the whole universe to be what they are. Out of the 7 billion human lives in the world the great majority lives in hardship. Out of the ones that have their material needs met, the majority do not know how to live happily. Whatever is causing all this suffering is not good. It has been doing what it does, for a long time, and it is not going to stop. I believe that even fortunate or privileged people at some time will eventually fall victims to the cruelty of life. That's the idea I want to convey.

Take what you like out of this, or don't take any of it. What we believe or dont believe, or what we understand or fail to understand doesn't change reality. It is what it is (unless we do something about it, of course).

We, humans, are the intelligence in life.
There is no supernatural creator intelligence.
