Do you think you're more advanced towards absolute truth than those of faith?

@Peekaboo: Yeah i guess i do.

@MetalGreymon: In actuality the typical atheist is no more advanced. They're right to choose nature over magic and wrong to choose non-continuation (past death) over continuation. Each side gets it half right.

Sorry, what does this mean?

@MetalGreymon: It's perfectly arguable that nature provides eternal life. Eternal recurrence is that process.

Is it? Could you give me a quick example?

@MetalGreymon: We only need argue it plausible.

@Peekaboo:

Sure. But i don't see how it is plausible. Could you describe it for me?

All general possibility is represented at all times. Draw a straight line through space-time with any event as your reference point.

@MetalGreymon: It means that any event (even you) is destined to happen again (within parameters).

@Peekaboo:

Why is it destined to happen again?

@MetalGreymon: Read up on general and specific possibility.
