"They weren't exactly MY questions" You posted them! You wanted answers to them--or you didn't! :-) "they showed the nihilist reality of Scientism" Huh? You are conflating different things. There are dictionaries, encyclopaedias and many other books. Please make use of them before wasting my time with such gratuitous nonsense! Thanks! "The theory of Evolution can't answer that question." Well maybe you should direct your complaint to the theory of Evolution, instead of to me! I answered the question. "shows how limited your thinking is" You think that ad hominem comment is a refutation of my answer! LOL! " I'll take the second part of your answer to say: you don't know" That's funny! Because my answer was actually: 'Our understanding of the Nature of things is a work in progress.' There was never a suggestion of omniscience. If that is your presumption, you need to get some solid food into you! "That's just immaturely evading the question." LOL! Do you think your childish and pointless ad hominem refutes my answer? The purpose of an unconscious telephone is to enable communication. Is that supposed to be relevant? your answer is stupid. Do you think you are making arguments by insulting me? "Which is just your dishonest way of saying there is no objective meaning of life." No. It was my honest way of saying "There are infinite meanings". If you disagree with that you could venture an argument. Your evasions and insults do not refute anything. When are you going to get that?! "Chance is not a reason, so that's your way of saying "No reason"" Sigh...My answer to "Why am I here" was 'A combination of chance and Evolutionary fitness.' If you cannot figure that out then you probably don't understand why the odds for a Royal Flush are 649,739 : 1 "That's shallow and immature." Again? Do you think an ad hominem sidestep is a refutation? Is that the only way you can "argue" anything? Does prayer work after you jump off a bridge or out of a plane without a parachute...or does it not? "Freud was a fraud" I missed the question about Freud's Deceitfulness and cheating?? Perhaps you would care to discuss that theory with someone who thinks either you or your theory have any credibility?? "You want there to be no God" Your "arguments' get stranger all the time! Whew! "There can be no room for free will in your philosophy" Let us try to stay with the questions instead of you introducing new questions phrased as acccusations. The question was, "is there free will". The answer was, "There is still plenty of scientific controversy over this notion." If you don't agree with my answers the adult thing to do would be to refute them--not to engage in silly ad hominem. Are you here to attack me or to discuss issues? "you can't know that there isn't more to it than that." But nobody said I could. I have always made it clear that humanity knows only a little. Why you have such trouble following along, I can’t say. <<"Helps" and "hurts" are subjective">> Are you having an ahha moment! That is good! “So will booting a person in the teeth so you can steal their life jacket. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27909508 That's your idea of Morality????” Yes. Thanks for that good illustration! It was YOU who had STOLEN the life jacket. The post you reference makes it clear that the life jacket was mine and I simply recovered it in self defence and because my life had so much more value than yours. Thank you for introducing that old hypothetical as a PERFECT illustration! <<"Those are legislated to reflect the values of the community in question.">> "So was the Holocaust" And the Inquisition and the centuries of slavery and all the thousands and thousands of wars! I am surprised to see you getting it at last!
