We consider that, as humans, we have advantage over all the creatures of Earth, and that it is we who must pull them along ion the long ordeal of Earth life to achieve mastery at some point in our distant future.

I think the Native Americans had the right idea about having"spirit guides" to help human growth, because those other creatures live the full measure of their creatrin, while we... well, we stumble on the "full-measure" stuff.

We tell God what to do and then blame Him for our errors.

β€œHitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away. Let us revolt against the rule of thoughts. Let us teach men, says one, to exchange these imaginations for thoughts which correspond to the essence of man; says the second, to take up a critical attitude to them; says the third, to knock them out of their heads; and β€” existing reality will collapse.”

Karl Marx is often regarded as a genius due to his profound contributions to philosophy, economics, and social theory. He is known for his influential works, such as "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital," which have shaped political discourse and social movements worldwide. Marx's ability to synthesize complex ideas from various disciplines into coherent theories is a testament to his intellectual prowess. His ideas continue to resonate today, influencing discussions on inequality and social justice. Overall, Marx's legacy as a thinker and writer is widely acknowledged, making him a significant figure in history.

God logically must exist, and while intelligence isnt most important, it is nice to have.

The fool says "I know there is no God" and fool also says "I only know less than 1% of what there is to know. I will never know everything.". So fool both concedes to almost complete ignorance and thinks he has some good knowledge at the same time.


Truly, atheist can only debate if he says "I dont know", and that is the beginning and the end of his wisdom.

The fool says "There is no God", but when asked to imagine the most powerful being, the fool imagines God. But when asked "What power could stop the most powerful being from existing", suddenly the fool has no logical answer. So if God is most powerful being, the only thing able to prevent it from existing would be a more powerful being, which cannot even exist without entering into a contradiction with the definition of God. So the only way one can argue that something can prevent God from existing is if we assume God isnt the most powerful being, but that is false by definition.

Is God afraid to appear before you, so chooses to only appear in your dreams which can easily be distorted.

Strange that God has to climb through a window to get to you.

I never heard that above before. Who told you that Faux?


Humans have access to meta-space concepts, and that has led ecological detriment, and enough hydrogen --much more in past-- bombs to destroy all of humanity on Earth and many other biologics.

Huh? ^^^ Please elaborate what this " full measure of their creation " means specifically. I asked previously about this and still waiting for reply.

Astronomers estimate that the universe could contain up to one septillion stars – that’s a one followed by 24 zeros. Hmmmm.

They might have missed a few or counted some twice.


What is one followed by 23 zeros?


Or 25 zeros.

Those add up to the many attempts by God to create life, having succeeded in only one, I.e. planet earth.
