There is something eerily un-natural about life itself. Lots of question to ask, and no definite answers. We're just here in this barren wasteland called space.
Okay.
Besides as far as anyone here is concerned.
I'm here.
As long you don't see an object being built and as long as it doesn't display a clear function/purpose, then the object in question exists merely because of chance circumstances.
Oh, you've added "display a clear function/purpose" to the qualification.
So, back to that
guide I linked to.
On the
second page, at the very bottom is a picture of two flakes.
It explains:
quote:
On the left is a man made flake showing all the features, on the right is natural flake or pot lid without them.
They both display a clear function, but only one contains features that do not occur naturally.
The bulb of percussion and whatnot simply cannot stand up to this sort of mindset. Nothing can.
The bulb of percussion is a side effect of a human making a flake. It doesn't display a purpose because it is a side-effect.
But it also doesn't occur naturally, that is, not artifcially, which means, made by a human.
And if I'm not actually understanding you, and nothing can stand up to what you're talking about, then there's no room for discussion.
I'd hate to see how this world would be if there wasn't technology to deliver information on a grand scale. We'd all be idiots babbling that stoves came from volcanoes and submarines, the birth-child of the sea.
Wait, now you're contradicting yourself. If we're "here in this barren wasteland", then where'd the technology (stoves and subs) come from?
We came up with that stuff.
Even when we didn't have "technology to deliver information on a grand scale", we still came up with the Pyramids n'shit.
We did that.
But I agree, there is something "eerily un-natural about life itself".
And I'm pretty sure it can figure out if something was created. That's easy.
