Animals - Do they have rights?
If you read my post you will realise I say that doing things for another species purely in the name of altruism isn't natural. That does not include things for purposes of preventing extinction, making sure a species is not over-farmed, etc. Typing in large letters doesn't make you right.

Discrimination?
So some people are born mature? Saying that most children are immature but some are not only means that they are relatively mature. They are still children and therefore are immature by definition. Were they matured then they would be adults...

The best year of your life
Probably my second year of college. Aged 18 I could do anything I wanted to, but had almost no responsibility. The subjects were still easy then too, and I found them all interesting.

Animals - Do they have rights?
It is natural for a species to make life easier for itself. The only thing that is unnatural is a species putting itself out for the benefit of another in the name of altruism.

Pianofrieak2, your reasoning only works if you are ALREADY a christian.

discovery versus jesus
That's called Pascal's Wager, and it is a fallacy. Here is why: Firstly, it does not indicate which religion to follow. Indeed, there are many mutually exclusive and contradictory religions out there. This is often described as the "avoiding the wrong hell" problem. If a person is a follower of one religion, he may end up in another religion's version of hell. Formally speaking, the argument consists of four statements: 1. One does not know whether God exists. 2. Not believing in God is bad for one's eternal soul if God does exist. 3. Believing in God is of no consequence if God does not exist. 4. Therefore it is in one's interest to believe in God. There are two approaches to the argument. The first is to view Statement 1 as an assumption, and Statement 2 as a consequence of it. The problem is that there's really no way to arrive at Statement 2 from Statement 1 via simple logical inference. The statements just don't follow on from each other. The alternative approach is to claim that Statements 1 and 2 are both assumptions. The problem with this is that Statement 2 is then basically an assumption which states the Christian position, and only a Christian will agree with that assumption. The argument thus collapses to "If you are a Christian, it is in your interests to believe in God" -- a rather vacuous tautology, and not the way Pascal intended the argument to be viewed. Also, if we don't even know that God exists, why should we take Statement 2 over some similar assumption? Isn't it just as likely that God would be angry at people who chose to believe for personal gain? If God is omniscient, he will certainly know who really believes and who believes as a wager. He will spurn the latter... assuming he actually cares at all whether people truly believe in him. Some have suggested that the person who chooses to believe based on Pascal's Wager, can then somehow make the transition to truly believing. Unfortunately, most atheists don't find it possible to make that leap. In addition, this hypothetical God may require more than simple belief; almost all Christians believe that the Christian God requires an element of trust and obedience from his followers. That destroys the assertion that if you believe but are wrong, you lose nothing. Finally, if this God is a fair and just God, surely he will judge people on their actions in life, not on whether they happen to believe in him. A God who sends good and kind people to hell is not one most atheists would be prepared to consider worshipping.

Surely though it wouldn't be able to emit the cancelling waves at such an amplitude that it would cancel out such a huge noise though?

No no, I never said you were constantly depressed - I inferred that you are an emo. I said that your comments on that page are depressing.

So is it a complete coincidence that if I type... http://www.[something]space.com/atticux ...into my little address bar we find a nice black page with depressing comments in the 'favourites' section, 'emo' brand logos in the pictures and Atreyu in the friends list? That and a 'hardcore' band as your avatar. Are you gonna tell me it isn't you? Big ol' coinkydink.

Yeah, I can only assume from the bitterness of your reply that you are an emo. You are an emo, aren't you?
