yea i just had to put those (^) in
maybe it isn't fair that i just get to read ur blog and and delve deeper into the gooey depths that is anna's mind. so after much consideration i have decided to write some stuff. now wat do i write. Maybe i should write more grammatically.... dammit i wrote my i in not caps... soo much effort to use finger properly. (it's 2am) ok time to write seriouslyl like jesse! *insert long pause*
oh well :D
Response to: i posted this cause i thought the dog is cute
Why am I an atheist? After I was bought up as a Christian, then straying from that I became something that would probably be labeled as an agnostic and now only recently i have become a self labeled atheist. I suppose when i was 'agnostic' i went through life normally, no qualms, just solving my own problems never even thinking about religion (except when i was forced to services...grr... get back to that later.) The thing about religion that i can't stand is the perspective. The world is so much more interesting when there isn't an answer to everything (eg. god says so, god made it, thank god). because of who i am i love to find out why. hence my science obsession. i don't think i could stand it if i asked 'why is the sky blue?' and told 'because god...'
yes we can look at nature and say that that is evidence of god, but its also evidence of not god. it's just a matter of perspective in that case. As god is the answer to everything for religion, it puts the science aspect a step behind because unfortunately science has not yet got an answer to everything. (trying not to be to aggressive) Nature is a mystical phenomena... i suppose i don't find it hard to believe that one of the billions of rocks over the universe we were lucky enough to have cells that mutated, expanded, and evolved into a workable ecosystem over a very long time. i suppose if we weren't lucky enough i wouldn't be here to say 'how unlucky'.
who is to say there hasn't been a multitude of attempts on this planet and others to achieve the ecosystem we have. with time a few handful of chemicals could do anything, just look at the food that is left in the back of a locker for a while...
ok i've run of topic to wat i wanted to say. its 3am... getting tired

hope u enjoyed my ramblings of the mind... unfortunately i don't write coherently. my points tend to mesh together and i start to run off to different arguments. but enjoy one of the few emily's ramblings

  1. okay, i guess that makes sense. but you prefer to wander confused through life just so you can learn the answers with science? i liked how you were all "trying not to be aggressive here":P

  2. how am i confused? how are the answers supplied by god/science relevant to most of my life. i went thru most of my life without having to think about god. knowing that methane is CH4 is irrelevant too, it still smells bad. science provides two things: sate our curiosity and make life easier. god provides answers to the fearful unknown

  3. so are you saying we need both God and science? i'm not saying you're confused, you talked about how you enjoyed not having all the answers which isn't exactly confusion.
