Great post Anna, profound.
quote: Although I intentionally avoided the judgement of those who accept the ideas of evolution, they do not realize the implications on humanity that those ideas have. It took me some time to get my point across, I believe the quot from Steven Gould really pushed it over the edge for many. Most of the posters didn't care about the hinduist influence, or how science is part of a grand illusion. Aside from Ben mentioning it.
quote: It doesn't exist, thanks to God. (what you called a negative approach) I am smiling.

quote: Yes, but my purpose is clear, and it has nothing to do with the illusion that attracts many for worldly glory. I am smiling.

Here you go again with the theory of absurdism that you love to pronounce. The thing that people like you and Albert Camus miss, is the beauty and meaningful existence that one can have on earth.
I am smiling.

I don't have to justify my actions of not responding directly, look at my posts, they are included. The Einstien one was not something I have responded to yet, I will later.
I am smiling.

quote: If there is no God, what would the feelings that you get out of the glorious mountains hold for your life, what significance exists in your feelings of glory as you contemplate the rocky peaks?
quote: I love how you said this nature is my heaven. I have felt similar feelings on days where the wind is just right, and I can see beauty in the mountains around the hillsides, but if you died, these feelings would die with you, and your experiences would be lost to an unrealistic gap in logic, all of humanity's feelings would dwindle, and life on earth would lose all significance, besides what temporary satisfaction one can gain from it. God destroys these ideals. I am smiling.

quote: But the physical holds no significance to me or my feelings. Did you read the allegory of Plato? There are never strings attached, only those of evolutionary restraint onto which meaningless beckons. I am smiling.

quote: The world is an illusion, what exists on this earth does not have significance, God, and Yourself, your soul are the things that have significance. In hinduism, the world is temporary, in Christianity, it is temporary, in both the world becomes an illusion, where many minds and hearts are devoted searching but finding no truth. Tell me something of this earth that gives one purpose! A true purpose. The only purpose, is the one to find oneself and to find God. The afterlife gives significance! This life is a life that cries out for purpose, for meaning, Searching what is physical, and what gives one satisfaction, will not result in truth. Of course life on earth matters, everything someone does gives meaning to their future, we all shape our future. But this future is not limited to the earth as we know it. We are not to die and be buried, we are to find God, and reach Nirvana, to get to Heaven, to become glorious in knowing that we have led a good life. I am smiling.

Transendance of the mind.
I will probably focus on my new thread for a while, this one might get closed, or drift off. I am smiling.

quote: What do you believe? The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.
