Quote:First of all, I am sorry about what happened to you at work, that sort of stuff really sucks. Well I guess the difference between us is that you believe we know that we are insignificant because we were not created, I believe we can know we are significant because we were created. So now it’s a bit of a Mexican standoff.Yeah, when co-workers turn on each other like that, just makes things harder for everyone else. I'm going to see if I can have him fired, his own actions have already pushed him in that direction. I've got the backing from 4 other workers.
We do indeed stand opposite to each other. I state that I do not know where all this came from and I won't pretend otherwise. I can honestly admit that I haven't a fucking clue where it all came from. You believe in scripture and assume the universe was created. Quite opposite.
Quote:Well I think we are going to miss each other on this one as well because we start at different starting points. I know we are significant because scripture says we are, you reject scripture’s authority so you don’t believe we are significant. So it’s a difference of viewpoints really.I reject scripture because I don't think it's true. What I've seen contradicts what creationists claim. Like the formation of galaxies, solar systems and planets. That through forces of nature like gravity and the like, it pulls all the materials from the big bang together. And with so much mass, there'd be plenty of galaxies with sextillions of suns and planets within them and that many of them would be adequate for life. So yeah once again two very differing views, one from naturalism and the other, creationism.
Quote:Well having life capable planets doesn’t prove there is other life out there, I am just going by what we have observed and we have been observed to be the only life in the universe.Doesn't prove but heavily supports. It supports the idea that we're not alone. That a few light years away or many are beings who may be less or more advanced than us, with their own religions based on their race and their importance like ours. I find it a rather interesting and wonderful thought. Much better than the idea that we're completely alone.
Quote:Yeah you are fun to talk to, even when you are grumpy.
I'm never grumpy! Just occasionally aggressive with certain people!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
