Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

[Angrboda]

You're free to hope.

Actually, whatever D-P writes is worth reading. You? Not so much.

If what I write is not worth reading, why do you keep reading it and on top of that, responding?

Have you nothing better to do?

You see it is easy to be cynical and dry and sarcastic....that's easy....just about anyone with an imagination can do that....

But to actually write something that is going to encourage and edify someone....

Well now, that is a different matter altogether now is it not?

Shame you can't do either.

I mean after all....what are children on an atheistic view of reality???

They are simply offspring of a species that has evolved via natural processes acting on matter.

Species don't have offspring, individuals do.

They are intrinsically no different than young rats or young pigs.

Intrinsically in what they're made of, yes human and rat or piglet young differ.

They are accidental collocations of atoms like everything else that exists.

Evolution isn't random. Oh look. Another theist criticizing something he doesn't understand.

It all came about by random processes acting on matter over a extremely long period of time.

Wrong again.

There is no ultimate purpose for children no ultimate meaning or destiny.

What's ultimate is in the eye of the beholder. Many humans consider what they feel their purpose to be is their ultimate purpose.

Purpose is always from the perspective of a mind. Do you have a specific mind in view in declaring this ultimate purpose? If so, then whose? And why is its view 'ultimate'?

They mature like the rat or pig, reproduce and then die to become food for the worms...

True. And that leads to what conclusion?

As one atheist wrote in her blog:

We are an animal species: in the primate order, in the mammalian class, in the vertebrate sub-phylum. We are a product of evolution; a product of nature. Yes, we're animals with an unusual ability to shape our environment. But it's an unusual ability -- not a unique one. Other living things have made dramatic physical impacts on the planet as well. Coral, for instance. Earthworms. And, of course, plants. http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_...nimal.html

So there are young earthworms, young coral and young plants and young humans aka children.....

So I mean really......

Yes, you mean really what, because you haven't said anything beyond the obvious fact that we live and die.

What logical conclusion does that lead you to?
