Pope: Stephen Hawking is wrong

So theres no purpose? When you wake up in the morning, nothing? Its just an accident?

we are a cosmic accident

Watched a show in Discovery Channel. Scientist say that the earth happens to "accidentally" got things right for life to take place. Even how our moon happens to revolve our world was just an "accident" that helped life to evolve.

When the world finally ends, anything and everything goes with it. So enjoy what you have now.

we, like all other organisms on this planet, do what we're supposed to do -- survive

ang pagkaiba lang natin sa ibang organism is we are self aware

our self awareness allows us to ponder our existence

so we try to give life meaning thru religion, philosophy, whatever

we can't accept life has no meaning

the Earth has seen many mass extinction events

Earth's life-supporting ecosystem is constantly changing

as the ecosystem changes, organisms are wiped out and replaced

modern humans (homo sapien) have been around for only 200,000 years (Earth 4.5 billion yrs old)

this window of opportunity -- the "right" conditions allowed humans to evolve

how long will these conditions last?

an asteroid crash could change things pretty quickly

things happen

sh*t happens

A friend of mine told me once, that what science can't explain it's easier to turn to God for an answer.

[uls]

though science still can't explain everything, science explains far more things than religion does

when something can't be explained by religion, have faith nalang daw

i don't know about you guys but i'm not content with that

[andywesteast]

we're not special

we are a cosmic accident
the Earth is just a planet that happens to be able to support life

not too near to a star (too hot), not too far from a star (too cold) that water can stay in liquid form

there are other planets like Earth

Yup, the astronauts see alien UFO's all the time. This one followed the first Moon Landing mission all the way.

Don't believe the stupid catholic church. For centuries, they fooled people into believing that the entire universe revolved around the earth.

But I'm also not contented with the thought that it's just an accident. Pagkaganun parang bitin e.
