Kind sir, please be advised that I have several (Christian) tattoos but none of them are located on my forehead.
I'm not a YEC, although I respect those Christians who do believe in a young earth.

You're a YEC. Everyone knows you're a YEC.

Dear Super Insect Man,
I've been meaning to ask ... Since your diet consists entirely of insects, what does your favourite snack - the dragonfly - taste like?

Fascinating. Is that why you argue that dragonflies evolved from cinnamon?

Dredge writes: Life has meaning only if it's eternal. If you require life to be eternal just so that it can have meaning - then you are clearly egotistical and without honour. Honour is doing the right thing just because it's the right thing.-not because someone told you to -not because "it's eternal" Having meaning in something because it's eternal is easy - anyone can do that. Having meaning in something because it's limited is difficult.-maybe no one else knows you did it -maybe no one will remember you did it in 100 years But if you're honourable, and do it anyway - this becomes more meaningful than a simple/easy "eternal" meaning that everyone's going to see and understand.
A finite life is as meaningless as meaningless can get. If one is honourable, a finite life is more meaningful than any eternal life could ever hope for.

Honour is doing the right thing just because it's the right thing.

Dredge writes: If this life is all there is, honour and doing the right thing are as meaningless as dishonour and doing the wrong thing. Why would you think that? Only if you need someone else around to remember what you did - only if you're egotistical. If you're able to put your ego aside, and just look at the situation, it's obvious that doing something when no one is looking/knows is more meaningful then doing it for recognition. Therefore - if this life is all there is, what we do is more meaningful - and more honourable - then if life is eternal.

Why do what is honourable and right if you want to do what is dishonourable and wrong?

You fundies scare me.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

These would all be selfish reasons why you should do good things - for the idea of self-preservation.
