Is the fact that life happened, just an existential coin toss?

While I agree with all of it, why didn't you place it in the atheist section? Hoppy May 2015 #1

Is there a reason you waited four years to post this? rug May 2015 #5

Timing is everything. Oh - by the way this is not a news forum. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #8

That explains the recycling of shallow, tired talking points. rug May 2015 #9

I know, right. You would think the faithful would wise up already. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #15

No, I think the faithful on this thread need the constant reassurance. rug May 2015 #16

Yes, Warren, we need to come up with a catchy new meme like 'Gnu Christians'. beam me up scottie May 2015 #11

It was a belittling "we" AlbertCat May 2015 #48

Based on the replies, it looks like I was right. "You", plural, are miffed. rug May 2015 #56

but you said "we" not "you" rug. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #60

Please keep up. You, of all people, should know who is prone to type "we" in a stentorian manner. rug May 2015 #61

no really rug if you meant somebody else you would have said "you". Warren Stupidity May 2015 #64

I do, although I occasionally make an exception when I respond to one of you (plural). rug May 2015 #67

I agree that use of the first person plural is idiotic, and as I suspect you are not an idiot Warren Stupidity May 2015 #68

I think that atheism, like theism, guillaumeb May 2015 #43

wait, that was subtle? Warren Stupidity May 2015 #45

subtle when compared to the crudity of the original post. eom guillaumeb May 2015 #58

That rebuttal seems to be missing the part that rebuts. gcomeau May 2015 #51

It does not. It was not intended to rebut the original post. guillaumeb May 2015 #59

Is that why you called it a rebuttal? Because it's *not* intended as a rebuttal? -eom gcomeau May 2015 #73

LOL, I wanted to ask about that too. n/t trotsky May 2015 #74

My use of the word "subtle" was intended to be ironic. guillaumeb May 2015 #75

so it was a unsubtle non-rebuttal. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #79

I assumed exactly that. guillaumeb May 2015 #82

Ok, so just so we're clear... gcomeau May 2015 #83

My original Post, #27, was intended to parody the original Post. guillaumeb May 2015 #84

Parody's generally have a purpose. gcomeau May 2015 #85

is the existence of life random chance? DeadEyeDyck May 2015 #52

It is rather likely that life is abundant in the universe. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #53

Unless you think the far universe is materially different from the near universe, it isn't. rug May 2015 #62

I'm sure we think we have made a brilliant point but we haven't. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #65

i don't know about we, but one of us has. rug May 2015 #66

We've failed to define "it" in that screed. Not very coherent of we. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #70

That sounds rather hopeful. rug May 2015 #71

simply the existence of matter was just a minor fluke. DeadEyeDyck May 2015 #72

The fluctuations that result in non-uniformity are not a fluke - they are expected. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #80
