Are we meaningless specks of dust in an uncaring universe? Or are we of infinite value?

Well, at least you credited some author in this one. You cut/pasted an entire article though, so its still probably going to get you some moderator intervention.

hoviariel, in general, we prefer that you not simply post here entire articles written by others without comment. If you find a particular article from, for instance, AIG, to be compelling, you might post a link noting that it makes a good case on favor of (or against) some position, and perhaps quote relevant passages. You might then ask us what we think.
And copyright issues aside, to simply cut-and-paste another person's article does little to further the discussion. |

From the article:The ultimate questions are these: ‘Are we meaningless specks of dust in an uncaring universe as the evolutionary theories tell us? Or are we of infinite value, making choices which matter? How do we know which way of thinking is correct?' How does going to Heaven or Hell for eternity have "infinite value?" Even with an "all-loving God," once you are dead, your choices no longer matter. |

Also, "evolutionary theories" do not address either the meaning or "meaningless" of life but rather the changes and adaptations of life via natural selection and environment. |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

Well, they're conflating all the different theories of change (how life evolved, how the solar system evolved, how the universe evolved, etc.) into one big ball of absurdity, in which if these theories don't provide meaning (like God allegedly does), then they must, instead, promote and glorify meaninglessness. It's the only way they can "win" hearts and minds: by lying about things like that. But I'm still waiting for the AIG article on how meteorology is inherently atheistic because it fails to provide "meaning" to tomorrow's weather. |
