Humans are insignificant.

So you firmly believe that science gets it right in the diversification and origins of life?

Sure, but Science can't penetrate the Divine Cosmos, AKA: the realm of God. God transcends all that is, including Science.:thumbup:

So far, there are only two conscious beings in the Universe -- God and Man. That makes Man very, very significant.

Dogs and Elephants have be proven to posses a conscience, as well as other animals.

One of which, like extraterrestrial life, cannot be currently proven. Unfortunately, unlike extraterrestrial life, it cannot be proven at all. You cannot show any bit of evidence towards this supreme being, yet you follow this being while scoffing at the idea of the aforementioned extraterrestrial life.

So knock it down to one. Humans. We have no more evidence for God than we do for ETs.

We're not the center of the universe, Pino. We're not even the center of our own solar system. What's so bad about that? Doesn't bother me.

We only know we're not in a physical sense. Like the Universe at large, we remain a mystery, and so does our origin. I choose to believe in God. Like it or lump it. Don't care. Ain't skeered. Git'r done, Larry. :beerchug:

We possess the capacity for abstract thought. They don't.

How do you know that? Other animals have proven to be much more intelligent than we originally thought.

Well, I don't know that, I guess. I think it's self-evident, though. How do you know that I don't know what's not known, or that I do know, what's known, about what isn't known?:bunny::spaz::leghump::cavt-126-asard:

Why do you believe in God?

Your starting to sound like Rumsfeld!

I've always felt His spirit working within my life, powerfully. I sought Him, and He was there for me. Now I live entirely for Him. I only enter the World of Man to purposefully try to improve it, such as when I teach. Other than that, I work hard to detach myself from it, and 'hold alone' with the Lord. All things purely human are fraught with folly and disaster.:headbang:

How do you know it is what you think it is?

Many people will have the same experience and then attribute it to whatever gods/spirits they were raised to believe.

True, I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say that and it turns out it was just indigestion.

Cool. When's the comet due by to pick ya up?

Well, now that you've held forth, I've changed my mind.:happybirthday:

'Bout the time you give up the meth.:elefant:

I'm not the one going on about seeing and feeling spirits.
