Given there is no evidence for 'creation' in respect to humans being created, I disagree since the statement is nonsensical.dio9 wrote: Do you agree or disagree with this statement ; humans are out of sync with the rest of creation.
I think humans define what is good and evil and make choices that fall into either category. So what?dio9 wrote: Do you think this thing called free will can be responsible for humanities good or evil actions?

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Re: Was here a first human being?
Post #16That's an oversimplification. Humans do dangerous things for many reasons.
Some of those reasons are quite foolish. Some are purely heroic.
Overall, humans desire to survive and to see others survive. If this weren't true, it's unlikely we would have thrived as a species.
