The philosophy of the endless void.

welp, "the philosophy of the void" is nothingness itslef, so your argument is literally, nothing.

No, you constantly swearing at me because I disagree with you makes you edgy.

How do scuba divers get oxygen?

Not so farfetched.
Oh my god it's so simple, why don't we have robots now?!

It was a way of explaining what couldn't be explained and instilling morals. It's actually pretty brilliant for how long ago they started. Today people grow up with them and believe them because it's such a long standing tradition. They explain what are essentially the two things we still don't understand: how did the universe come to be and what happens when we die?

We do, just  not as advanced as you think.

Right. All morals are man made and it's funny how they are being passed down from generation to generation.



Morality may "exist" to the individual, but it is not a natural entity

No, you constantly swearing at me because I disagree with you makes you edgy.
Jesus christ everything isn't about you Tony lol

I've never intentionally sweared at you, I just swear in general

IMO putting science, an ever-changing and continual area of thought on a pedestal as "true" is foolish.  Science, especially in our day and age, changes by the day.  What one's perception is proven one day is stricken down the next.  What some few, individual scientists' perceptions and conclusions in a day, when even one or any of them happen to hold a grudge against a scientist or is a rival in their work, may ultimately decide what the world must arbitrarily accept as truth over all other things. I am religious, a Christian, and the only fundamental problem with science that I have is that it relies on human error and limited perception, and therefore produces many short-term truths that leave the intellectual high ground on a kind of metaphorical shifting sand.  While scientific discoveries make our understanding of our world greater, it also produces a level of uncertainty.

As for your thoughts on "the infinite void and darkness" or whatever, this sounds more like a philosophical debate which religion and science both seek to explain, but in my mind, religion does so more thoroughly.  For the sake of time and interest, it's pointless to discuss this in much detail.  In no way does the Bible conclude that science is contrary to it.  God Gave us minds to think and to understand and to discover.  God's second command was to have dominion over the Earth and to subdue it—to do so requires an understanding of it.  The Bible embraces the attainment of knowledge and wisdom hundreds of times throughout Psalms and Proverbs.  God's fourth command to humankind was to review and name every animal, male and female and classify them by kind.  The Bible says "lean not on your own understanding" and later "do not build your house on sand", saying to not rely on inconsistencies or things that change as a source of truth.

You may argue that God is not real and therefore my perceptions developed from religion are void, and I will settle that this is your perception, as well.  There is no point in trying to wrangle the truth between two stubborn men.  But do you understand what I'm trying to say?


Now that's edgy.
you literally sound like a kid who just found a new word
