How Do We Exist?

[shortylickens]

[Dr. Zaus]

We exist as and in all that which we imbue with our intentionality of caring.


duh.

speaking of fire...

I was wondering the other day how far intelligent life could develop technologically if they couldn't harness fire.

Example: What if dolphins had no competition from humans, opposable thumbs, and all of human's current knowledge of science and engineering. Could they ever hope to develop something like... motorized transport or simple electronics? I don't think they could build a foundry in the water... and without the ability to manipulate metal high technology would forever be outside their grasp.


Anyway, enough rambling... as to the OP: Take a dice and roll it 20 trillion times and write down the string of outcomes. Now at the end look at the resulting number. There is a (1/6)^20trillion probability that that outcome would happen. Practically impossible, but it happened. Probability or improbability is fairly meaningless after the fact. If we had any number of alternate forms you would be wondering why THAT form seemed so improbably perfect for us.

Guys.......... I talk to God.

Of course you do. I talk to my cat. Doesn't make either of them real.

They could go to the 'outer space' of dry-land and conduct operations.

We reproduce with pleasure attached to drive us to reproduce.

This is close to the answer you seek. We exist because our ancestors survived and reproduced better than other beings.

 

[Perknose]

Guys.......... I talk to God.

What does she say back?

 

[T_Yamamoto]

What does she say back?

That she wants a bloody mary

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

We live in a world with a bunch of different densities of mass that we mix to create our technologies, tools and houses and all other objects of usage. We have 10 fingers and 10 toes... sight, voice and hearing. We see the resource and we move to mix it. We reproduce with pleasure attached to drive us to reproduce. We have thought to memory which is our minds... all this put together is this world. We don't have a creator?.........

Guys.......... I talk to God.

Life started with Genesis.




The best gaming system ever made.

 

[Platypus]

overprescribed.
under the mister.
we had survived to
turn on the History Channel,
and ask our esteemed panel:
"Why are we alive?"
and here's how they replied,
you're what happens when two substances collide
and by all accounts you really should have died.

OP: meet Howard. He is our official AT greeter. The idea was working out so well for Wal*Mart, so we figured we'd appoint one for ourselves.

I think he's working out just fine. How about you?

 

[SagaLore]

Guys.......... I talk to God.

and what does he say?

 

[WelshBloke]

and what does he say?

"Sorry for the inconvenience" apparently.

Explains a lot of things really.

 

[IronWing]

Of course you do. I talk to my cat. Doesn't make either of them real.

My cat is quite real, draws blood and everything.

 

[NathanielHarlow]

I lawlzed.

I'm a Christian, but any clear-headed reading of the bible shows that Genesis is clearly written by multiple authors none of whom intended to write a historical document. (the concept of a factual historical document didn't start up until after the old testament was written!)

I actually believe that Genesis was written by "The Holy Spirit"

 

[NathanielHarlow]

Please define our creation otherwise... in the most humble way you can. As I have; Henceforth: in the simplistic childlike learning of "treat others as you want to be treated."

 

[NathanielHarlow]

My cat is quite real, draws blood and everything.

Purrr
Funny fear of The Lord joke.

 

[NathanielHarlow]

and what does he say?

Teaches me things: like nurture placement, how the scope of time works, how life is created, the logic of flesh... Some conversations in friendship about martial arts and history.

Hmph... He functions.

Hmph... He functions.

We all have our roles to play, do we not?

This is close to the answer you seek. We exist because our ancestors survived and reproduced better than other beings.

Thoughts are assigned specs of dust mixing in assignment with reproduction of them; In an organization of our perception tracking to memory pool, then pulled in a mix to imagination as memories, or in a mix as creativity. That is our functionality of mind. So therein with pleasure attached in the spec of dust organization making form. Which is the logic of our "Logic" reproduction. Our "Logic" being the way our flesh functions and moves.


God Created our "Ancestors."
In Genesis the "Breath of Life" is God's understanding of Adam and his aspirations for him. therefore giving Adam an understanding of himself. If you think otherwise it is as easy as bowing your head, closing your eyes and praying to God for an "Angels Blessing" and an Angel will show you a sign.


You all fall short of the Glory.
