We accept that things have meaning because that is the evidence that we have, our senses percieve the universe and our brains interpret it.
Just as they have evolved to do no need for a god here.
Quote:We denote whether things "exist" through conscious observation. we are inextricably bound by our own consciousness. To believe that the universe continues to "exist" outside of consciousness denotes that things exist independently of conscious observation. Humanity has never been able to demonstrate that anything exists at all outside of conscious observation, it is the only tool we have to make observations. If consciousness ceases to exist, the universe very may well go on in some form, but there is no tool humanity has to make that observation besides consciousness. For all intensive purposes then, the end of consciousness would necessarily mean the end of existence.
You do realise that your just rambling like a stoner now dont you ....dude
Quote: Since there has been no observation of "God", God does not exist?
Now your getting it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
