That was my nice way of saying that I didn't feel like you had actually understood what I was saying, and were just making general statements.

Something that life itself doesn't affirm, because life has obviously continued thus far.

Again, I don't feel like you actually processed my last post. ID is bullshit because it's just a cheap way of trying to make creationism a viable subject for science classrooms. Also, 'self-loathing cynical' doesn't matter. Truth does, and the only way to get close to truth which we know to work is science. Refer to my AIDs example earlier.

I don't know how you can't see the beauty of life without having to have a ghost in the machine. You call it 'cold', 'bleak'... I don't think you actually grasp the beauty of it all, the wonder involved with the mechanical interactions themselves, and all of the processes leading to the evolution of sentient life forms. It's much more beautiful and warm than saying "God did it".
