Humanity continues so far. What is this necessity of which you speak?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

They were horny.

What is the real point noahide is trying to make?
That without a god, why bother continuing the human race? Isn't life more precious knowing it is an extremely rare event that occurs in the universe and we should prolong its existence for as long as possible. We can ask the same silly question to theists. Why bother living a long life if the next one is even better? Why, because your animal instincts are unaffected by your indoctrination and you gut will always look out for your wellbeing. Try walking casually and consciously into a wall. You physically cannot do it ... your self preservation instincts will not allow it.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.  (June 7, 2015 at 10:42 am)noahide Wrote:(June 7, 2015 at 10:36 am)Nope Wrote: Are you saying that the human race shouldn't continue?No, because i'm believer. But I think to atheist it is logical that cost of continuation of human race is too high. That is a wack-a-doodle view on life.
