RE: circular reasoning
(June 26, 2012 at 3:21 pm)DeistPaladin Wrote: In this manner, all questions of "why" ultimately lead to your objectives in life. Why is longer life preferable to a shorter one? Why is happiness preferable to sorrow? Why is love preferable to loneliness? There is no logical answer to any of these questions. They are personal preferences, what we want out of life. They require no logical justification any more than my preference for Mozart over the sound of balloons being rubbed together.

I see you have confused aesthetics and dignity with laws of logic.

By my observation, all three promote our understanding evenly (which is to say, none of them explain anything).

You are a very clever atheist.
The only way to avoid answering any question using logic is to say things like "it just is" or say no logical reason has to be given for my questions. That way there is no obligation to reason rationally. Very clever.

It is true that chemical reactions over millions of years don't have to be rational.

Thanks for your post.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
