We are..an accident?

Post » Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:05 am

Does anyone else believes that life is someting accidental, something that does not fit in this universe?I mean look at this.If you have the proper mathematical, chemical etc knowledge you can easily predict when a star is going to explode or when a comet is going to arrive in your planet.Everything in this universe are based on certain laws and can be predicted like a snooker ball.But life is different.It has some aspects that make her special.We can change the environment in ways that cannot be predicted and cannot be compared with anything else.We have reproduction, we have a genetical structure that cannot be found randomly in the universe.This thing can only happen randomly.I believe whoever built the universe must be astonished from what was created in this planet..

The notion of "accident" requires intent, or at least the capability for intent. We are an emergent property.

What if life is something that "destroys" the harmony of universe.What if we are a cancer, a parasite, something that shouldnt be there yet it appeared completely accidentaly?

If you think of life, and the creatures it encompasses, as a ring, and the entire scope of reality as many other rings, I believe we'd be in the very center. Slowly our ring will destroy others, and in turn the other rings will destroy ours.

What harmony of the universe? And what do you mean "should?" Moral imperatives don't exist without consciousness to define them.

I think life is meaningless, and if it is, what does it matter if it was an accident or not?

I don't think this can be discussed without religious discussion coming up. Sorry but seeing the first few posts which some of which will be deleted, it's going down the slippery slide of iinappropriateness anyway.
