    Nope, that label I'll never try to pry from you.
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        That you should know. Just out of curiosity - are your personal data reliable or just random ?

                    AH has about the maturity of my dad. Roughly that of a 14 year old. And yes, I know he's a father.

                      Yeah, rather weird - though, when someone calls me a fool I tend to be a little annoyed - old habits are difficult to get rid of.

                      • I think its rather foolish to say anything is easy where the universe is concerned. We can measure but do we understand the meaning?

                        • Existence implies creation. The question of creation leads to the First Cause arguments that litter Apolyton theads.
                          No, existence doesn't imply creation. That's an assumption of yours. I certainly do not think so. From that, your point about logic is valid, but I disagree with the premise.

                                Ah, a concrete critic of my answer, even one that I can answer - what I said was that if you have sufficient knowledge, then the problem is explainable, not nessecarily easily understood. There are a lot of current technology that most people semms as something close to magic but for those who knows about it, it's simple.

                                The second part is more difficult - do the universe have a meaning ? First, what claims that it is intended to have one ? Next, if we know sufficient about it (maybe not for the next 10.000 years) we may learn the answer if there are one. One thing I though think is for certain, is that none of all those religions that have ever existed in humankinds history have the right answer.
