Why your exsistence is more worthless than you previousy thought it was.

RE: Why your exsistence is more worthless than you previousy thought it was.
Quote:Our brains only needed to evolve in order to survive within our specific ecological niche so they didn't need to understand anything about the universe.

You assume that brains evolved towards understanding the universe as a result, rather than it being the side effect of high cognition it almost certainly is.

(February 8, 2014 at 8:08 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: You will need a starting point for everything that exists and the starting point can't be something that itself started so you will be looking at something eternal and unlimited, without boundaries or limitations that will provide the context for everything to exist within. The structure and fine tuning implies purposeful creation and therefore intelligence. So you can use deductive reasoning to arrive at this conclusion.

And your solution to the problem is to invent a god and assert, with absolutely no justification at all, that he is an uncaused cause.

Any justification for God being an uncaused cause applies even better to the universe.
