  • @ocblenheimpl only someone whose ego is such that he believes that humans were placed on this earth for some special reason instead of being here merely as the result of an natural evolutionary process could think that Dawkin's answer was weak.

    Evolution has no purpose. It just is.

  • Richard Dawkins has the most patience of any man I've ever seen. Damn, how does he tolerate it?

  • its sad seeing all these religious fanatics reap in the benefit of science everyday to further fuel and to spread their ignorance. Never once pausing to think about where they obtain their benefits; vaccines, cars, aeroplanes, television, internet. These priviledges were gained through the hardwork and effort in science, understanding based on factual evidence and proof.

  • It is obvious that Dawkins"s brain did not evolve properly...

  • why are we here: is easy- because we were bithed, and with that comes growth, proceded by the eventual expiration.

    what ya do with the inbetween is why YOU are here.

    its subjective and objective in answer, which is why the answer has not an easy defining point, other than, the arbitrary process.

  • @kall707 You compared the concept of god with air which is utterly preposterous. We know air exists because it can be measured, it can be felt and we know its exact atomic composition. We can watch it react with other elements in a lab. This is a public domain and I will comment and correct stupidity and ignorance how i see fit.

  • @ScottishCaledonian Who.........fucking asked you?
