I was in my ethics class and we discussing axioms in general and someone possed the question, "would social eugenics be considered as a axiom of evolution?" It was at the end of class we didn't get to discuss it? Would that even fit logically?

You can be the first to answer too.. If you cant then the universe must be meaningless

Not even close. Even if I can't find an inherent purpose to the universe then that wouldn't make it without one. Even if there wasn't an inherent purpose that still wouldn't make it purposeless. And even if it was purposeless that still wouldn't make it meaningless.

Okay maybe meaning and purpose is to subjective.. So what is the necessity and the function?

Why would you assume either?

Why would you assume that there wouldn't be a function or necessity? So your saying you can't think of any empirical evidence that would show its necessity or function?

Seriously, every time. I wish you theists would stop completely ignoring the point of threads and just criticize somebody's grammar. If it was really bad I would understand, but he's not writing a fucking English paper, he's posting on a public forum, who gives a shit if there's a run on sentence? You understood very well every word he wrote and if you have as response why don't you direct it at THE TOPIC ON HAND?

And yes I understand the hypocrisy of this post, but I still believe its necessary.
