I told you what I agree with, regarding the topic of mutations.
Okay. We cannot reach consensus so there's no point continuing this discussion. Good day.

Well, I've never met an atheist who actually claimed to know the truth of why we all exist in this reality we call the universe. If I ever do meet such an atheists, I would think he would have quite a god complex.

We all exist in this reality because our biological parents had sex.

TRUTH!

Correct.

It is typically the theists, that claim to have all the answers, yet don't like to answer questions about how they got those answers.

Intellectual honesty usually involves, not making up answers one can not support, when you don't have the answer.

Lol, that is a common narrow minded answer that I get from atheists. Think outside your parents having sex! You know what, never mind, continue thinking all existence is due to your parents having sex, that's fine if you want to believe that. ;)

I answered your question accurately.

Perhaps you should be more precise in your questions?

I'm saying personally I have found the answer and I found it by honestly questioning myself and reality with the intent of finding truth. You seem to think this is an irrational thing to do?

You're a funny guy. Too bad being funny doesn't get us any closer to the truth about why we perceive a reality at all.

I am happy for you that you have the answers.

If you can support what you claim is truth with any logic or rational (which you clearly have not done), don't expect others to take your word for it, but you can hold onto your answers, as tightly as you desire, for personal purposes.

Indeed I will. I suspect that if you personally found a source that answer's all your questions, you'd hold tight to that truth as well. Or would you irrational disregard it because you don't like your questions to be answered?

And I've already mentioned today that unless you can show that "nothing" is an intelligible state, the question "Why something rather than nothing?" is unintelligible.

I don't think "nothing" is an intelligible state. I believe there has always been something with no beginning and no end. That something is God.

When I have questions, I want them to have answers that are most likely to be true and that is how I roll. If I said I had something that answered all of my questions, I would be lying to myself and I don't roll that way either.

The more controls I have in place, to assure I am relying on objective evidence and facts to realize those answers are most likely to be true, the better I feel about the process.

You see, I want to believe in as many true things as possible and not believe in as many false things as possible. Personal perceptions, based on personal needs, absent these objective facts and evidence, tend to be highly flawed in my opinion.
