What is life about? How do you make sense of your existence? What is your best estimate / theory of what we are doing here and how all of this came to be?
Is this: (A) Christianity - God created the world and man rebelled? (B) Evolution - Happenstance? (C) Other alien races exist and are in a 10000 year battle; and we are in a living in Reptilian Soul Recycler? (D) Simulation - Some type of computer simulation running for purposes beyond our comprehension.... (E) ....
I'm really curious to hear of your best estimate / theory of how all of this came to be.
Do you share his view of things?
I mean, it's not overtly false. Reductionist, sure. If there's a kabbalistic layer between reality and what we experience, then there's no way to be certain of anything.
Of OP's list, B,C, and D are all equally insufficient to describe the whole, so it's likely a combination of those.
Universe made by God, species made by aliens, governance has been "AI" for at least a hundred years.
Yes, but even longer than that..(Babylon and before)
The description of another becomes the layer within self, which confines experience into expiration. The layers of self imposed burdens are choking out a beings access to the source of knowledge passing through.
Whatever ones holds onto prevents one from seeing the kabbalah (cube of allah) aka the law of all cueing each being within. Those asleep ain't getting the cue while slumbering under layers of deception.
To be certain requires each beings self dis-CERN-ment...not layers of understanding by others which obscure ones mind from being within the one and only way of knowledge aka living on the edge.
A description of one to another cannot ever be all...only within all can each one come into being to shape descriptions to one another. Holding onto shaped descriptions represents the deception which equalizes differences among beings.
Nature doesn't describe (outline)...nature delineates being (life) inline (inception towards death).
To combine implies like vs dislike aka putting two (bi) together (com) against ONE another. Nature implies singularity; artifice implies plurality. Only each singular being wields the free will of choice to artificially combine together what nature divides from one another.
Without intelligent design, the 'particles' 'banging' would have demolished themselves, I think, as well as thinking only an Ultimate Creator makes the most sense and takes much less faith and trust than an accidental intelligence and complex life, but that's me, and you can quote me.
Kabbalah is lies and thievery.
Christ/christen - "to anoint" implies the lubrication preventing friction in-between "banging particles" within the dividing process of whole.
Few design intelligence (understanding) as an identifying mark for many to tempt them to turn against (anti) one another, which demolishes the lubrication (christ).
The trick of Christianity (or any other group) is about tempting each christ to join one another, hence becoming anti-christ.
Particles joining together implies mutual demolition. The "banging together" aka intercourse for off-spring implies the balance act for ones reacting choice in-between the need to set apart and the want to put together.
IN (inception) and OUT (death)...only in-between can being come to life.
