If I seem angry it's because I am. Had an eventful evening and I'm a little pissed off at the moment. A so-called friend and work colleague snitched on me and another work colleague and making nasty false accusations. He's trying to win favour with the bosses, it's back fired since everyone backed me and my other work mate up. He should lose his job by the end of this. That fucking wanker!

Fuck what did I do wrong?

Quote:You missed my point, just because we are tiny specks does not prove we are insignificant. If the universe was created for us, then we are very significant.Yes "if" the universe was created for us. Perhaps it wasn't. So why don't we do away with the 'ifs' and stick to what we know now. Which is we don't know. Nothing proves we are significant, but we do have reason to assume we're not.
Quote:Well those are merely hypothetical scenarios, which do not really get us anywhere. Perhaps Christ will come back and we will all be shown to be truly significant, hypothetical scenarios can work both ways you know.That hypothetical scenarios does pull apart your argument because it demonstrates that it's too early to make wild and large assumptions about us and the cosmos, we don't know what's out there. So why assume we're the reason for the universe? Perhaps we'll discover an advanced race which was the whole point of the universe and not us. We are in the same boat. We both don't know what's out there. We both just don't know.
Quote:If we are the only life in the universe, which is what the current observed evidence suggests, then we are indeed special by definition right?We are aware that there are life capable planets out there. 500 million life capable planets (est) in each galaxy which is over at least 200 billion. Statistically speaking, the chance of life on other worlds is effing huge! But 'if' we are the only life in the universe, then yeah, we're special. But if there are other life covered worlds, all of a sudden we're not so special anymore. It's like thinking your the only A star student in school and feel very special, only to learn that 200 others did just as well.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
