Prager is also indulging in some sweeping generalisations which, I suspect, arise from his own rather conservative viewpoint; and has created a term "Leftism" to encapsulate everything within modern western society for which he does not particularly approve or like."It ain't necessarily so

The runaway bestseller White Fragility bolsters my earlier point with its maintaining that white people are doomed to be racist no matter what."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I qualified my remarks with the phrase "at the biological level" and that holds true. At the biological level the purpose of any living organism is to procreate and pass on its genes. Nothing else, at that level, matters.
As to our own lives, each human being give his/her own meaning[s] to their life. There is no over-arching and definitive "meaning" as to the purpose of human life."It ain't necessarily so

Mine is that life was created by God for a purpose. He gives it all meaning, from the microbe to the human being.

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostAs has already been stated I have offered no philosophical opinion.
That is a fact. Or do you imagine the average cabbage or salmon attributes a "meaning" to its existence? Or perhaps you consider that spiders sit in their webs musing on the meaning of life.
Of course we do. You have briefly outlined what you consider to be the meaning of life. However, your views on this issue are only facts insofar as they express your opinions.
That reads as if you accept either predestination, or you are a fatalist.

After that the biological is over and the organism can die having passed on its genes to the next generation.
The remains then play their part in the nitrogen-carbon cycle. The various tissues will be broken down into their respective chemical constitutents which will be recycled and then used to maintain and support new life."It ain't necessarily so
