Summations Only

In that case, why would you say it's "interesting" that I quoted a man who converted to Judaism?

Sorry, but you're not making an sense to me. if "Life itself is meaningless", as you say, then everything you do in life is meaningless.

On the contrary, his words make it obvious that he was a theist:"We must admit that there exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place.” (Anfinsen, as cited in Margenau and Varghese, ‘Cosmos, Bios, Theos’, 1997, 139)."I can think of little more to add to my final point having to do with the nature of God and the existence of God. Clearly, an all-powerful, all-knowing entity must exist to explain our existence.” (Anfinsen 1989).But oddly, despite converting to Orthodox Judaism, it seems he remained non-committal viz-a-viz theological specifics. So one might describe him as an agnostic theist.Agnostic theism - Wikipedia

Sadly - and rather disturbingly - your answer to all the above is "Yes".

Intelligence is a curious thing... highly intelligent people can be downright stupid in certain areas of thought."One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool" - George Orwell

Happiness and experiences don't add up to meaning. You're just a bunch of molecules that is here today and will be gone tomorrow, so you have no more meaning than a bag of mud.If you come from nothing and go back to nothing, whatever happens in between (life) is also nothing. You're sense of meaning is just an illogical (and meaningless) delusion.But since life is meaningless (according to atheism), it doesn't matter if you live your life in a fog of delusion. Anything goes, coz everything means nothing..

But you're still my best friend.

No, but what I do get is that for someone with three degrees (in radically different disciples, two at Master's level, one from Cambridge University, England), you're a very shallow thinker.P.S. Any degree offered by any Humanities faculty is not a real degree.

So true, but the Eucharist is not about being about intellectual. It's infinity more than that.

"Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool so as to become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God" (1Cor 3:18-19).

"the natural man does not accept what pertains to the Spirit of God, for to him it is foolishness, and he cannot understand it, because it is spiritually discerned." (1Cor 2:14)

In other words, you believe there is no god(s).Why are you so hung up on admitting that you have beliefs? Weird.

Witty ... but sad ... even sadder than your all-insect diet and the many insect-posters adorning your bedroom walls.

Puny science will always be clueless about abiogenesis, but you forgot to mention that the process that produced the life-form changes evident in the fossil record (often referred to as "evolution") is also unknown and can never be known. Science can't even know what happened, let alone explain how it happened.
