Reason vs. Faith, Question 8 of 8 - Ayn Rand Institute

There is an absolute! You misread the Bible's message.. I recommend that you re-read it.. This world is also based on order and patterns..
Science without a creator is pure chaos. NOTHING is created out of chaos! Therefore, there IS a creator! Look at the science around us! Look at the order and energy things emulate. It is all based on a higher design. An intellect that WE can't comprehend and that is okay.

Why have morals and values if there is no God or creator?! Who cares..... What's the point?!

Because I am a conscious human being and I wish to live to pursue my own values. My survival is dependent upon my ability to think rationally, therefore any action I take which rejects reason or reality is self-detrimental.

but you must give credit where credit is due.

I can agree with most of your comment. I don't exactly think the objectivist philosophy is bad. However, things like the saying "rand this and that", I think they are merely trying to show respect or some admiration for her. Y'know when talking about Plato you don't go I believe. You go Plato this and that. I don't have the same mind as Rand but I'm indivual because I view what is moral on my own in choice. The only thing right on is her anxiom of her philosophy that all of us agree on.

I hate those obnoxious little smiles Dr. Brook and Dr. Ghate give each other. It's really annoying.

I f I am a thief and police or a court arrest me or stops me from stealling (or approaching) anything does it means that I am right and police is Wrong? These guys from AYN or whatever, they dont know what they are saying!!!

The formation of Community originally dictated morality.
The Eskimos, until recently, allowed visitors and friends to sleep with their wives. That was custom, or in our view a moral choice. For them it was a social choice.
Nakedness is another social choice, although the Christians would believe it to be a moral choice.
Cutting the skin from the end of one's penis?
Stupidity...

"Happiness is the object and design of our existence...That which is wrong under one circumstance, may be, and often is, right under another....This is the principle on which the government of heaven is conducted—by revelation adapted to the circumstances in which the children of the kingdom are placed. Whatever God requires is right, no matter what it is, although we may not see the reason thereof till long after the events transpire." -Joseph Smith
