so ur saying the meaning of life is just an endless cycle of reproducing...that seems incredibly dull..everyone has a purpose...as an atheist this kind of thing makes u think...what if our life purpose is to serve god?...but then logic kicks in and im confused again...u cant have the answer ur alive..the meaning of life comes to u as u die...."head hurts"

[makaisenki]

No I'm saying it's improving things from one cycle to the next. In other words progression.

I just hope 1 day our ideologies can evolve past the point of needless violence.

The reason why we have war in the middle east is because of so many unevolved ideologies.

As the single simple molecules that made up the first cells of life, progressed to an ever complicated structure that forms our bodies, so too must we progress, to become beings of love, transcending so much of the hate.

the nature of evolution is, that because of certain environmental stress (like oxygen, temperature or the availability of aminoacids), only few species with the needed mutations survive (which are quite a lot in our opinion).

evolution has no goal, it is just a natural process. the problem of the human mind is, that it wants to find patterns in everything and therefore sees goals, meanings and things like that, which, in fact, aren't there.

It sure is a hell of a lot better than...

"Because our divine overlord Yaweh told us to and threatened us with eternity in hellfire"

isn't it?

I mean to carry on this debate would be absolutely worthless. I would need to be able to think on my feet and question you directly. Sitting here with 500 comments unable to continue speaking directly is just going to leave me with an incoherent reply simply because I need to ask questions AS they come up, and to have you respond.

plants are adapted to certain chemicals (or stress) through natural selection. it is a passive process, in which thousands of plants (of the same species) dies because of this stress, but some survive, thanks to mutations (which are random and aren't a result of survial instinct or things like that).

my point is, that there cannot be a meaning of life, becaues everything (including life) are a number of random events. meaningless in nature.

The topic on this video and the actual subject of the video, was merely to try and get some sort of shock value, and possibly get some christians to show me how they counter act such an argument. It wasn't really formed to be a decisive argument since i mostly made it up as I went along.

I don't see why you care so much about some petty little idea in which you practically doubled the view count of.

This is a failure as both a video and a topic, I was making it mostly for shock value at best.

==> a simpel comment from the netherlands.. The mening of life is dieing !

[HarryTimson]

yeah, you are right, a 500 character limitation really kills a debate :).

[makaisenki]

What does the plant care whether it lives or dies? It's something that can't well be described. Some quality that life has to protect itself and to continue on.

That's all I'm talking about. The underlying nature of evolution.

Why is it that simple cells became more complex? Why did they develop protective barriers over time? Because, even if their wasn't a cognitive thought of adapting to survive, the point of it living, was to survive and adapt.

[makaisenki]

Well wolves and coyotes were both hunted around the same time. Wolves went nearly extinct and coyotes grew in numbers. Why is that? Because Coyotes were smarter and figured things out and were trapped less often because the overall species was more adept to learn things over long periods of time.

The cells want to live. If a cell becomes immune to a certain remedy, it was part of random chance. I can't exactly decsribe it, but why is it that a plant can become resistant to a chemical?
