Human Value Nonexistent?
RE: Human Value Nonexistent?
(October 17, 2012 at 7:45 am)Reasonable_Jeff Wrote: Richard Dawkins’ assessment of human worth may be depressing, but why, on atheism, is he mistaken, when he says, “there is at bottom no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pointless indifference. . . . We are machines for propagating DNA. . . . It is every living object’s sole reason for being”?

Richard Dawkins, River out of Eden: a Darwinian View of Life (New York: Basic Books, 1996), p. 133 and Richard Dawkins, “The Ultraviolet Garden,” Lecture 4 of 7 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (1992)

There are a few things that bother me Jeff.
No religious person should ever call themselves reasonable ..
Then there is the matter of a believer coming on an atheist forum to have his ass handed to him time and time again, do you like to be humiliated Jeff, i know some ppl who do.
You probably think you're some sort of provocateur extraordinaire but when all is said and done you're just a bit of a sad not to bright human being.
About every 3 seconds a young child dies in Africa because it didn't get proper nutrition and his/her parents didn't have access to clean water.
We have the money and knowledge to fix that but what do we do .. almost nothing because we don't really care.
This is just one simple example of how enlightened we are as a species.
And you have the audacity to talk about human values .....
Be ashamed Jeff, be very ashamed ...
