Why is my worldview so terrible? That's a ridiculous claim to say that everyone that doesn't believe exactly what you believe is terrible, no? So much for being tolerant and accepting.
As far as us being animals, we are. I'm sorry that you feel the need to make things more fantastical than...
God can be proven in what way? That he once existed or is still existing and intervening? Not that I agree that any deity can be proven - but if you take the first stance and not the second, then that is more of a deist outlook.
Sorry, but the very beginning of your essay assumes that humans are 'special' and deserving of non-animal status. I just don't agree with that. Also, is it not better, in an already over-populated world, to have less humans than more?

It's never an easy thing to deal with, losing a loved one. However, even though I do not like the idea that everyone must die - I have to accept it. I know it happens to every living thing on the planet. It's a bit of an unemotional stance, but that is how I deal with it. Don't get me wrong, I...
I'm sorry for jumping in here, but for someone who insists on quoting dictionary entries over and over you seem to be lacking the ability to use context and comprehension.

*shrug* He said it was up to scientists to provide the evidence - so I'm curious as to what comes next? I am well-aware of the chances I'll be let down, but maybe once I'll get a reply that makes sense to me.

I'm curious to know why you think "underground water" and precipitation could contribute to a worldwide flood when it is scientifically proven that groundwater only makes up 0.62% and atmospheric water only 0.001% of the water on Earth?
I'm JeLy. I'm an atheist, and have been since my early twenties - I am twenty-nine now. Previous to that I was never religious, but more or less agnostic and unsure. I was raised to make up my own mind via an atheist father and (non-practicing) Catholic mother. How they got together I cannot...
