Default The collapse of atheism

Richard Dawkins says -

" Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind's eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker "

How stupid to suggest that nature has no plan,when the humans who sprang up for it have lots of plans for the world and each other. Granted some of these plans are less than noble,there have always been evil men and women,tyrants,but there is nothing these sour faced functionalists can do to explain away the reason why more people on earth believe in God than not,why their is a surge of interest in all forms of spirituality

When it comes to kin altruism,reciprocal altruism,modern philosophers have no problem drawing conclusions from the lives of living creatures other than humans,the bee which stings and therefore dies to protect the hive,the meercat which endangers its life for the sake of the group,the lives of ants,it goes on and on,yet when it comes to humans they know very little. So if the selfishness of animals and insects in general is an indication that humans too are selfish since they are "merely" evolved animals,and that there is no soul,no spirit, then why all the fuss over poetry,love,art,beauty,all of that ? Why the fuss over divorce,death,when someone is divorced after 20 years of marriage and is broken hearted because their partner cheated on them and left,just tell them "ah whats the fuss,loves an illusion,your genes are hoodwinking you,your pain isnt real,your being silly!"

If a man who saves his own only child from being hit by a bus and dying is killed himself in the process some philosophers will argue that it was essentially a form of selfishness,kin altruism,but if that man were truly selfish he would allow the child to be hit by a bus thinking,i,ll just create another child with my wife,me being alive is more important,i can go on to make several other children"

When someone has a member of their family murdered and they begin crying and mourning on hearing the news,just tell them "cheer up ! at least your alive,stop fussing,it was only a murder"

Some Idiotic philosphers have no explanation for life because they are far too caught up now to be able to understand simple things anymore,their minds are full of intellectual garbage

Yes nature is intelligent,but not in the way some imagine,it has a plan in mind,and that plan was to imbue humans with sense of reason which can only be called divine.The earth has no purpose ?!?! Yet there are more humans who believe in a spirit,a soul,than not,this leaves the "theory" of the blind watch maker in the dust,the plan of the universe has been unfolding gradually for several millenia

Call it an illusion,superstition,or a fear of life,like it or not spirituality grows,the people who practice a spiritual path which also involves the belief in some sort of deity is growing,not because as some idiots would have you believe because the world is becoming dimmer,and people less reasonable,but because the universe has a plan to have mankind develop patience,humility,understanding,tolerance,for humanity to live in peace, thats why spirituality grows,despite every attempt of certain dimwits who call themselves philosphers to prevent it from happening

Man is not destined to be selfish,but selfless,this is a fact,that most people at the moment are still very selfish is no reasonable argument against selflessness,if people were truly selfish they wouldnt give up their lives for others,they would preserve their own,yet many dont,many wouldnt,there is the proof
