Kurt:

Define "now". It is one of the most tenuous concepts known to mankind. Some philosophers posit that thee is no such thing as "now", since it cannot be grasped.

Kang: Who said anyting about religion in my post? It is the inherent selfishness and self centered attitude of so many that I find depressing. The attitude of "What's in it for me" seems to be beneath what should be a fulfilling life. If some find the concept of a higher power helpful so what? Even AA uses the concept to help people learn how to stay sober, and they do not advocate that it must be a God. In addition, no matter if it is Buddha, Moses, Christ or a Hairy Muffin, if it helps some people channel their lives, what is the harm? Why try to convince people continually that they are "wrong" when you, yourself do not have provable absolute data one way or the other. That is what makes your arguments no more valid than tekkors. Both convinced they are right, but only posting opinions.

I have had life experiences that I cannot explain. That does not mean there are not explanations, only that I am not aware of what those explanations are. I prefer t think there is a meaning to life that transcends this limited existence, based on the scientific hypothesis that matter and energy cannot be destroyed, only changed (or interchanged, if you refer). We, with our limited senses cannot see ultraviolet, cannot sense microwave emissions from the galaxies but we have learned how to detect these. What future findings may reveal, none of us can be sure. And, that philosophy is as valid as any other, but I will not attempt to convince you ar anyone else that I am right and you are wrong.

I refuse to limit myself in my thinking. Infinite possibilities.
