"Evolution provides the answers to your questions."
They weren't exactly MY questions, but they showed the nihilist reality of Scientism quite nicely.
Is there a God?
"No."
The theory of Evolution can't answer that question.
What is the nature of reality?
"The accumulation and investigation of all available knowledge gives us our current view of reality. Our understanding of the Nature of things is a work in progress."
Your Procustian, materialist idea of what constitutes knowledge shows how limited your thinking is. I'll take the second part of your answer to say: you don't know. BTW: That makes your answer to #1 ridiculous.
What is the purpose of the universe?
"Purposes belong to conscious entities. Unless the universe is conscious, the question is stupid!"
That's just immaturely evading the question. Created things have a purpose. The purpose of an unconscious telephone is to enable communication. The question is a good one: your answer is stupid.
What is the meaning of life?
"There are infinite meanings."
Which is just your dishonest way of saying there is no objective meaning of life.
Why am I here?
"A combination of chance and Evolutionary fitness."
Chance is not a reason, so that's your way of saying "No reason"
Does prayer work?
"Only if you ask before you let go of the bridge railing!"
That's shallow and immature.
Is there a soul? Is it immortal?
"The idea of soul or spirit was an invention of primitive man trying to understand how something unseen was obviously animating life as well as the movement of leaves and so forth."
Freud was a fraud but psycho analysis cuts both ways. You want there to be no God so invent excuses to deny Him.
Is there free will?
There is still plenty of scientific controversy over this notion.
Not for a hard core Materialist like yourself there isn't. There can be no room for free will in your philosophy. You are dancing around and avoiding straight forward answerers to all these questions so far.
What happens when we die?
"You get buried. You decay."
Your answer to question #2 shows us that you can't know that there isn't more to it than that.
What is the difference between right and wrong, good and bad?
"The good is what helps people and societ--and the bad is what hurts them."
"Helps" and "hurts" are subjective and simply beg the question.
Why should I be moral?
"Because it will increase your chance of survival and optimise any possibilities of happiness."
So will booting a person in the teeth so you can steal their life jacket. Message 27909508 That's your idea of Morality????
Is abortion, euthanasia, suicide, paying taxes, foreign aid, or anything else you don’t like forbidden, permissible, or sometimes obligatory?
"Those are legislated to reflect the values of the community in question."
So was the Holocaust. Enough said!
