What view of Origins is more profound?

RE: What view of Origins is more profound?
Yeah but then you're forgetting you just said this:

"That's your opinion. In my opinion, theism - and even deism - demeans nature by thinking it needs extra"

So do you think my theism detracts from my appreciation or not... because you just said both opposites were your opinion.


Evidence is superfluous because absolutely everything is interpreted by us subjectively; and this is what you're talking about here after all... your subjective take on reality.

RE: What view of Origins is more profound?
To say evidence is superfluous must just about be the most ridiculous statement ever.

Evidence is the only thing that makes something like evolution any more of a fact than anything else anyone claims, regardless of the evidence or lack thereof.

Without science, without the objective consensus of scientific evidence - for instance, just to talk about science for a sec - nothing could be said to be any more true than anything else.

I did say the above quote mentioned, and I said it was my opinion. To clarify, I am saying that it demeans it to me, that's what I mean by what I view as meaningful or not. I accept that to others it may seem meaningful.

It makes no sense for you to say to me that I could be saying that you can't get as much meaning as me. Because as I've already said: I believe 'meaning' is entirely subjective anyway. So I can't say that you don't experience as much meaning, because only you know what's meaningful to you....

I know of no evidence of any 'meaning' to have, other than what one feels personally.

It's my opinion because I'm not making any sort of claim whatsoever. I'm just talking of feelings.
