What do you think of Dawkins' sentiments?

@AbbySvenz That’s not what he said at all. He didn’t say THE universe. He said IN a universe. And then directly transported the conversation to humans directly after. So he wasn’t talking about THE universe. He was talking about something within it, and then pointed directly to humans. “Some people” it’s literally right there.

@AuRevoir

@AbbySvenz Yeah, that you observe. And we we mostly observe our earth and the planet we live on. In all the hours throughout an entire year how much knowledge do you personally have on the confinements of even your own solar system? Even the bare minimum of each planets weather for each day? Or the comets and asteroids that rotate or pass through?

Now extend that to the three nearest solar systems to us. Now extend that to a single galaxy. Then even begin to attempt to calculate how many galaxies supposedly exist within a single universe. You can’t even comprehend what a single galaxy is up to. Your own brain wouldn’t have the storage capacity to reach that far or observe it more than to make up fantasies of assumption and pretend you’re knowledgeable.

You can’t even tell a human being what another random human being that you share is up to on the very same day you share breath with them. That loves half the world apart from you. Let alone your solar system that’s much further apart and again the branching of neighboring solar systems and then then the galaxy etc.

So what we’re left with in our observations is earth. You can’t fathom or comprehend what you don’t know. You can not become larger than a single galaxy to properly observe it, and you can not create an even greater feat and become larger than the universe to observe it. So what you’re observing is everything on earth. And you’re extremely limited to that information with usually only a few fractions of time within an entire year where anything remarkable can be observed within your own solar system let alone further out than that.

@AuRevoir I'm not sure what your point is.

@JimboSaturn You’re proving that point, with that very sentence.”

@AbbySvenz What are you trying to say? It is Richard Dawkins' belief that the universe has “blind physical forces” and “no design.” He says there is no good and evil, and only “pitiless indifference.” The universe and us humans are the same to him.

How can he be serious about this? They sound like exaggerations to make a point. People still take it seriously.

There is no good and evil because those are concepts devised by human cultures, and then projected outward.

I’m not saying those are invalid positions to take, but to pretend that they reach beyond this human experience to the universe at large is preposterous.

Universe gonna keep on universe-ing well after we’ve gone extinct @emiliya

@AbbySvenz Im reading a book called Sapiens that says exactly that. The creation of fiction and agreed upon constructs is our defining human characteristic

@AbbySvenz “Universe gonna keep on universe-ing well after we’ve gone extinct.”

Do you think this is pertinent to anything you wrote in your comment?

Yes @emiliya
