These are things I've found on the Internet. Look upon my works ye mighty and despair.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
On the other hand, I find it hard to imagine how atheists become scientists: resigned to a purposeless, arbitrary world, their search for order is de facto without justification: why ought laws be what they are? Why ought anything be intelligible? Why ought one bother with any of this nonsense? Because they like beakers? As nerdy hobbyists?
Is it really that hard to fathom? We think, therefore we are, and if we are it behooves us to know how. Just because we don’t believe our “purpose” on this earth is to please an invisible father figure in the sky doesn’t mean we don’t have purpose. We can all choose the purpose of our lives, and just because you get your purpose from a cute little story about gardens, apples, and snakes doesn’t make it better. Hard as it may be for theists to understand, it is possible to devote one’s life to helping others without the promise of an afterlife reward.
