Why stop at crushing the soul? How can we believe that a mind exists, either? Are we not all mere pillars of molecules?

In that context, the question is whether you can stand at the registers of the computer, watching the gates flip, and confirm/deny the presence of an operating system.

He's pointing out the lack of Darwinian evidence. In a way, this A/C reply criticizes itself, as it didn't put much effort into discovering Nagel's argument.

So, you've equated "subjective" and "objective"?
That's one (or more) way(s) to play, I suppose.

Well, by all means: define this objective truth for all, then.

"René Descartes was a drunken fart: 'I drink therefore I am.'"

"A brutal trip to the sod" means a lousy, violent end to life, in this context.

What's estoppeling you from further discourse, pray?

"What is it that you think you know?" said turtle AllTheWayDown.

The vertical line of God interacts with time we see along the line of our lives.
Hard to discern, you'll agree, as through The Valley we've trod, dodging the Evil One's knives.
Could we our futures foresee, as each of us forward strives, the same path should we have trod?

No, we would rather have wives; kids by a dozen shoes shod; bouncing them all on the knee.
Swimming among the world's cod, world to make meaning contrives: to locate the core of "be".
Those who're forgiven stand awed, realizing they've no plea: God only real meaning gives.

It's hubris to think that because we don't have an answer, one does not exist.

So, does that argument support theism, atheism, or neither?

I guess the Perl-loving neckbeards at /. were right all along.
