I guess you never thought about it, did you?

[mlmooney89]

In a physical sense it would be like when you go from Berlin to Paris in train.
You can't be wrong.
You feel that Paris is closer and closer. (example)

Just to be clear do you think you can feel Paris getting closer?

[Minimalist]

Fuck god.

[Little Rik]

Most atheists come to the conclusion that God doesn't exist on the ground that God doesn't show to them in any way.

Put the question in this way.
Suppose is all a game for God.
God like to create something very small and through evolution this small become big.
A bit like you when you see your baby become a man like you.
How can you explain a baby how the system works?
He-she could not even understand anything beside if you allow the baby to grow to man without going trough the evolution stages what would be the point in creating the universe?

If God would tell you where is hidden the gold's nugget then the game wouldn't make any sense.

Smart people understand how the game works and play according to the rules in order to get at the nugget ASAP while idiots don't and waste their precious time whining and swearing with no end in sight so the goal of life become more and more distant.  

Suppose god is an unintelligent space slug who created the universe accidentally by taking a poop made of enough antimatter to unravel and re-start the universe. What then, Rik? You ever think of that?

An unintelligent space slug can not possibly create a huge and complex universe with intelligent life in it.
(Don't get excited Pinky, I didn't say that you are intelligent )

Have you ever seen a donkey give birth to a human being?
So a slug will give birth to a similar slug not to a human being.    

Failed analogy mate.

If someone bound you gagged you and dump you in a freight wagons it will be very hard to know where you are going but if you on your free will decide to travel to Paris then is obvious that you feel your goal within.

Then why aren't I a god or a demigod? 

(Well my world begins and ends with my consciousness and what I perceive, and I am the one who has primary control over my little universe I live in, so I suppose in that way I am God...of myself. But I still have yet to be able to make monkeys come out of people's butts, so I am not GOD.)

But you see the point. They just really needed to add the "He made us in his image" bit to make us feel oh so special!

[Succubus]

isn't the conclusion pending until a theist presents actual evidence ??

1) It doesn't mean that because you are a Theist you know how the system works or how the rules of the game
works.
 Some theists are so dumb that they create their own rules and instead of getting closer to the nugget they get more and more distant to it.
Religious fanatics are an example.
Decent atheists are better than them in this regard.

2)  No Vorl.
Nobody will give the magic tip and they couldn't either.
You are on your own like when you sit for your examination.
You can not copy from anyone beside you couldn't anyway.
It is individual experience coming from within.
It stay with you.
It is on an abstract level of consciousness unlike something material that you can pass to someone else.

Freudian slip?

By the way, I opted to be a baby forever.

Darlin those are called context clues. You use your other senses to know that you are getting closer. This is why when bound and thrown into a wagon you can't know where you are going. That has nothing to do with emotions or feelings and everything to do with the physical world around you and how you take it in.

Poll is incomplete.

Needs to be added:

???
What the hell is this shit?
What have you been smoking and can I have some?
Fuck all polls.

[Succubus]

I think trivial Rik is going full poe with this one. I mean he doesn’t really believe this shit, does he?

[I_am_not_mafia]

Abiogenesis is the term used to describe the formation of life from protocells. There isn't a term to describe the first initial development of intelligence but I suspect we could understand it better by studying Little Rik's proto-thoughts.
