Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.

Yes, and I know that there is no direction in evolution, no aim, no decision for or against survival. Some species just get lucky and other don't.
Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science. We know how it works, namely species that are best adapted to the natural environment are the ones that will survive. And if the natural environment changes they will either adapt via natural mutations or go extinct – as 99% of life on Earth has. IF, as you seem to believe, that 'god did it' he wasn't any good at it.

Survival of the fittest isn't an ability to have come from anywhere. It's a description of the natural process whereby the best fitted to an environment survive.

And this is because moral values evolve and vary from culture to culture over time.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Of course, there is no aim, or decision-making process in Evolution – this would suggest, without any evidence, that a ‘mind’ is at work guiding it all. But you are anthropomorphizing without ANY justification a perfectly natural process.
