@chronDiggity First I do not declare to know the answer but based on my life experiences simply believe there're many things that occur with no explanation by mans knowledge of all things If your science is so thorough why do so many seek the answer to this question? I will error on the side of a higher power! I disagree but respect your opinion on this matter!

"You must get outside the realm of what man thinks to experience that which man can not explain. Please don't tell me you can or I would have to conclude you to be illogical"

And yet here you are claiming to have an explanation, for that which cannot be explained.

Do you even comprehend how many years people like you have said that, and how much science has EXPLAINED THOROUGHLY that was once thought to be something that cannot be explained?

Your explanation:God did it.

BRILLIANT

@chronDiggity Well my friend all I can say a man without beliefs is a man without a soul. You must get outside the realm of what "man" thinks to experience that which man can not explain. Please don't tell me you can or I would have to conclude you to be illogical by your own inferences. :)

Oh EVIL is intelligent. WTF are you talking about? What is the overall goal?

At what point can you say the result of evil is logical? That's my point.

@chronDiggity Just because evil is illogical chaos doesn't mean it can't manipulate reason as well. It's corrupt, chaotic and unbelievably insane at its core, but insanity has never stopped the world's greatest monsters from leaving their mark...evil takes any opportunity to inflict pain and spread hatred; even if it takes decades for its seeds to take root, it will wait patiently...and, actually, when you think about it, evil is too calculating to be illogical. It is VERY intelligent...

@chronDiggity This illness has taken me to places I could only describe as pure evil. I have no other way to explain it! I do know why so many choose death over life in this state of hopelessness!

@chronDiggity yup lol

@billeybop

How about logic and reason? I can't look at that in the face of evil? How is it logical to be evil? It isn't. That's what evil is, it's illogical chaos, no matter how badly you try to mask it in reason.

What we perceive as evil are always traits that would have been cast out from any group hundreds of thousands of years ago as our species evolved. Survival as species is what's logical, so naturally anything that inhibits that is illogical.

No need for superstition.
