clever way of putting words in my mouth and talking shit about people who go out of their way to help others. I didn't say anything about those people being god-fearing. Maybe some people see life as a gift and live life trying to return the favor and not just trying to evade punishment. I am sorry you have such a one dimensional view of the world.

k nothing was designed and there is no order because certain segments of science confuse us. you can stop learning now since everything is just made up anyways and in no way benefits you. Being alive means nothing and later generations mean less.
Also why are you on the internet or alive for that matter, what does anything mean to you? why do you care so much about an accident?

qq life is tough,

oh noes you pee pee from your "recreational area"...There is no $DEITY!... probably has nothing to do with building up immunities like kissing has been proven to do.

the apendix does nothing then gets infected...There is no $DEITY!...our stupid brains will never be able to compensate for our useless appendix by having it removed

and yea...swallowing food and water as well as breathing is a bit tricky...you got me there, i guess there really is no $DEITY. evolution has stopped dead in its tracks and we lead a pointless existence...

1. I have no idea and neither do you, but everything we discover or make works becuase of rules here long before us.
2.how long till we augment our brains with that power,what will we do with it, and will that be an accident?
3.fuck the appendix I don't quote scripture or refute evolution so why the fuck are you asking me this?

sigh...you still want to believe that I don't believe in evolution. And that what you believe in today won't be laughed at by future generations the way you laugh at the church for not believing that Galileo was right. The universe didn't revolve around the earth...it revolved around the SUN. So even though Galileo KNEW he was right and people accepted what he said as truth for generations, we realized again later that the universe revolves around neither the earth nor the sun and in the end he and the church both had it wrong. This doesn't mean we had nothing to learn from him it just means, that though he really really really thought he had evidence that proved the universe revolved around the sun he did not have the tools to know EVERYTHING, and you certainly do not either.

I wasn't comparing my self to Galileo, I was comparing you to the people around him that KNEW the universe revolved around the earth. I am not a creationist or an anti-scientists, it is the breakthroughs in science that that amaze and convince me things aren't just happenstance. I don't say I know why they happen or what we are to do with it, only that there are rules we have been privy to observe and manipulate. Because we can say how we say how does not give us the authority to say why. I wouldn't read Slashdot if I had a problem with scientist, and I'll bet if you asked a bunch they would tell you they don't know everything either but that they do what they do because they believe mankind is an important asset to the universe. I, they, or you do not understand our main function yet but if there is one they will strive to help find it.

you think "invisible sky daddies, flying spaghetti monsters, invisible pink unicorns" are the same thing as looking at all the patterns repeated throughout nature and the universe and wondering why, or what we are supposed to do with it?

you could also link to the results of people who do simple day to day things at soup kitchens and homeless shelters in the name of their god...are they crazy? And is it not a reality that they save lives and it's not just suicide bombers who believe in god.

...also

and you think there is a difference between between saying "this is how it is" in the name of god, and saying "this is how it is" in the name of no god? All I say is that while we know a lot...we don't know shit.

where do i reject evolution? scroll down some...

the wheel is analog to a single cell, human to a car whatever you want for trains, trucks, motorcycles...evolution in particular makes me say how and why. I'm not a creationist or intelligent design believer in that i don't look this stuff up on the internet read books about it or goto meetings anywhere. Just kinda what I've always thought when I've learned how stream lined and rational things are, either sitting in school or reading /. just wanna know WHY everything makes so much sense.

all I'm saying is that to be able to observe any of it seems like a gift.

sorry, forgot we are an accident. I'll just accept that dna is what it is because it just is, and that the laws of physics hold true throughout the universe just cuz.

I'll bet at some point in your amazing life you have admired Galileo. Do you think he heard things like this when he tried to explain the universe might not revolve around the earth?

huh I don't remember saying I believe in god because he and I like to chat. You don't ever wonder why there is so much order in science?

Car analogy...what goes into the factory is not the same as what comes out. Cars have roots in things much simpler like carriages and carts and their most fundamental primitive part is the wheel. Cars come in all different shapes and sizes and have evolved since the first car was built. There are things which can be catogorized with cars like trucks, trains, motorcycles, that all have differnt purposes. I don't believe that when the first car was designed they saw all that it would become but they did not make it for no reason.
