It has nothing to do with belief, it is knowledge.
Quote:Is that possible? Does it make any sense?
Yes and yes.
Quote:Many atheist believe
Let me fix this for you: Many, who are educated and/or understand biology, understand evolution, regardless of religious convictions.
Quote:that by a strange and mysterious combination one born as a human out of nothing due to him-her and other born as plants, worms, insects or animals also out of nothing.
It's neither strange nor mysterious (actually, it would be a lot stranger if a human gave birth to a plant, I say.) And not out of nothing, but every living thing is 'built' according to it's DNA.
Quote:In this way there is no evolution of consciousness.
Of course not. Evolution only deals with how certain traits are handed down through the generations via DNA. It does not deal with the philosophical notion of consciousness.
Quote:A worm with his primitive consciousness came in existence just for pure bad luck on the other hand a human being came in existence with his-her more developed consciousness just by good luck.
Good luck, bad luck? What do you know of the secret life of a worm? Maybe it's more 'unlucky' to be born a human. No, a human becomes a human thanks thank to it's parents.
Quote:So where is the evolution of conscience that suppose to be build up as the life progress from lower to higher form of lives?
Is perhaps that we born as humans because humanity has developed for long time and we follow this wave of development?
So if this is true then we are not responsible for our development as the wave of collective progress moves us along anyway.
What a wishful thinking to believe that our consciousness is build up in just a lifetime thanks also to the progress that humans have done since human existence.
Or maybe it's just wishful thinking that your inadequate ramblings are more worth than decades of study and research.
Tl;dr: You sir are a stupid schmuck.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
