To an atheist life in the universe came about by chance. In the vast cosmos, among billions of galaxies containing billions of stars each, life began on earth. We only have to travel to the moon for the earth to be small enough to hide behind our thumb, so imagine the insignificant speck of nothing our piece of the milky way is on the galactic scale.
According to evolutionists life began on
earth in the primordial sea, a random mixture of amino acids energized by the
atmosphere. This life was mindless and
accidentally evolved into something more complex and the process then repeated
endlessly.
Let’s imagine that life did begin this
way. This means we’re alone in the
universe. If the evolutionists are
correct and our existence is an accident then life has no purpose.
None.
If life came about by chance it has no
meaning. Something that exists by
accident can’t have a purpose. We
can attempt to give life meaning by being good people (according to our own
moral code), but that is only self-proclaimed meaning and it doesn’t protect us
from the people who decide their meaning in life is to hurt others. If life has no meaning then why bother trying
to give it meaning?
This accidental life is mighty unfair. Some people live into their nineties with
nary a health concern while others are born with so many problems they die
before their fifth birthday. A serial
murderer lives out a long life in prison while an innocent child is born with
cancer and spends their childhood undergoing chemotherapy and constant trips to
the hospital, only to die before a quarter of their life is over.
Some people have everything while others
have nothing and the only difference may be the invisible line that separates
their country from mine. People in this
accidental life rape children with impunity, sell drugs that destroy minds,
amass gobs of money through fraud and sheer greed, and they kill fellow humans
for being the “wrong” ethnicity. A scary
percentage of the population engages in behavior even the most primitive
animals do not.
Despite supposedly being the highest form of
life on this planet we act like delinquent children, eager to hurt each other
and destroy the only home we have.
What kind of future do you wish to
have? What are you doing with your life?
If life is an accident why are you even
asking those questions?
