"That is the most important concept in the universe we know of and certainly the material from which all beauty emanates."

You still have not accounted for compassion from within the Atheistic World-View.>>

Sure I have. I think about it. I value it. It is how I establish my validity as a human being.

That is where my compassion comes from. I feel for other beings. I put myself in their shoes, so to speak.

We were much more barbaric before we became civilized.

I am sure empathy, kindness and compassion is a concept all sentient beings in the universe understand.

It is, IMO, a constant in the universe intelligent beings understand and value.

If we were visited by sentient beings I am sure they would judge us on our ability to understand compassion.
