>>536869038(OP) The reality is that most people need religion to function and be healthy. Whether any of it is actually "real" doesn't matter. Scientism and secular humanism are not good substitutes for religion.

mars may have had life but probably maxed out at dinosaur level, if ever then the planet became inhabitable tough luck

>>536870638 >muh evolution selected for it I guess, but it also selects for many strange things. Why can't we just say we don't know instead of story time with the shaman?
Anyway, God is real, but that doesn't mean anything anybody wrote down is correct, my boy faggotron.
Atheism is an incorrect stance, based on the premise of your existence.
I'm not saying a "God made you" only that a pregenitor created all of what you know as reality.
You have no onus to actually worship or suck this guy's cock, he's just trying to do some shit.

>>536878258 I don't believe there is a literal man in the sky as described by religions. As for more abstract higher powers. Such beliefs are not useful. What does it even mean to believe in something with no known properties, other than being a "higher power", whatever that is.
>>536878433 >This is contrary to the concept of entropy. How do you derive meaningful complex information from an inherently meaningless world? We are ephemeral Maxwell demons. We have small time scales and small local pockets of entropy defying order. In the grand scheme of things it is meaningless though, but no one is willing to swallow that pill.

of course, all this presumes they know whats going on, on earth so, probably, FTL must exist (or its da big G)
either way some things are just too coincidental to be real you know it, i know it and it all being a psyop is pushing the boundraries on the plausible just as well >but why would there be semantic coincidences thats just... too unrandom to be random, too
the most simplest answer is some higher power, i think
