Really? It's been definitively demonstrated that there's no purpose to life? I must've missed a memo.

I must've missed a memo.
- amalag 14y agoOh yeah, didn't you must have missed Dawkins book. He 'proved' our existence is nothing more than chemicals and molecules trying to survive. This is the pinnacle of science and the search for truth apparently. And people wonder why tragedies like Newtown happen in such a nihilistic worldview preached by scientists, the modern priests.
- macspoofing 14y agoIf you try to link materialism or atheism to atrocities, you run into a major hurdle, in that, you have to admit that religious belief is no guarantee of morality either. And in fact, can sometimes directly cause great pain and suffering. So what are you left with?
- macspoofing 14y agoYeah yeah, can't prove a negative, but ok, how about this: - There is no evidence that there is any intrinsic purpose to life (except in context of the genetic purpose to reproduce). - Our entire current understanding of the world strongly suggests there is no higher purpose to life.
