Evolutionists and atheists--we who
believe in a higher power hear you "loud and clear." You believe that
we are self-deceived and uneducated, otherwise we would be like you.
So what are we to conclude?--That
all the love & hate you can express in a lifetime; all the lifetimes of
everyone living and those now dead; all the passion, learning and conviction
you express about evolution really doesn't amount to even a grain of sand
because evolution & our existence was all mere chance, has no deeper
meaning and is therefore pointless? We merely came to be and will cease to
exist all without there having been any value. If that is how pointless life is
to you?
If so, why even bother to argue the
point of a meaningless existence? If believers are self-deceived, and you
are so intellectually convinced their beliefs will amount to nothing, then why
not just leave them alone? After all, in the end you will have done nothing but
waste your breath. Don't you have more important things to do than argue with
ignoramuses? Oh wait, that's right, you don't have ANYTHING more important
because its all meaningless. (I think if i believed as you do, I would
seriously consider suicide seeing as once I came to realize how meaningless
life is, I would not find any reason to continue mine.) Oh, and please don't
preach to me that the reason for arguing is that religion is the main cause for
hatred among mankind and that ridding the earth of religion would be a good
thing. While it is true that religious fanatics exist, so do godless fanatics,
or what do you suppose atheistic states such as Russia and others are all
about? Their atrocities against humanity are likewise well
documented.
Consider: Would a world
comprised of nothing but atheists bring peace & kindness to all humankind
or would it be a world filled with anarchy, selfishness and fear? Since no one
would be a recognized authority regarding morals, who would dictate what is
right and wrong?
Bull's eye Bart! The philosophy that is the basis of such a view of human existence is Nihilism, a view expanded & refined by Friedrich Nietzsche, most notably. In the Evolutionist-Atheists denial of an intelligent Creative Mind behind creation (especially humankind), it becomes rather hard to avoid such conclusions about the purpose of life (or the lack thereof).
ReplyDeleteIf 'great' thinkers of history, in trying to make sense of the puzzle of life & existence, would just simply not deliberately discard those puzzle pieces that account for "God" beforehand, man-made philosophies as these would themselves be exercises in meaninglessness and purposelessness.
But the root of the matter isn't a philosophical or intellectual one really...it's a moral one. After all, the sinful Lawbreaking human, estranged from his Creator by his own sinfulness, hates the idea of being held accountable to a transcendent moral Law (as he inherently knows right & wrong, as God built that moral compass into the human). Thus logically, to escape this Moral accountability, it is necessary to first do away with the existence of the Moral Law's Author, namely God Himself.
