Interesting. Since when do chemicals (i.e. material things) have the desire to "survive"?
Quote:It's not a con. It's just a way to make the universe more relatable. We want to be special, to have a particular place in the universe.
I don't want to feel "special" per se. I think we can quite easily generalise Theism as being something that satisfies that longing. Deism on the other hand seems to me like it's about the cold hard facts. There's no reason for me to think I'm special, just like people who are born into a life that will only last less years than what I can count with both hands. There's no way this Creator thing designed us to be on a pedestal, because reality says otherwise.
