Default Answers to the Basic Questions of Life ,


Following are some of the  default answers to the basic questions of life , which place the subject under atheism or agnosticism. 
  • How did life begin on earth? It began in some naturalistic fashion.
  • Why are we here? there is no reason for us being here. We are not important(Laurence Krauss). We are here to work( Some others). 
  • Who created the human being? A naturalistic process that we do not know yet. 
  • Why is something good or bad? It will be due to physico-chemical attributes that we may discover in future. 
  • What is the purpose of life? Why do you think there is a purpose of life?
  • Is there a Day of recompense? No, not at all. 2. Well, I do not know. ( He means there is not any or this question is not important. We are here to work only to make this planet a better place to live on. for that purpose, knowing the answer of this question is irrelevant.)
  • Why is there injustice on this earth? because there is no god(the Argument of Evil)
  • Why is there evil on this earth? Because there is no god(the Argument of Evil)
  • Is there any life after death? 1. No, what happens after death is the same as what happened before your birth . i have discussed this faulty notion in my video.)
  • What is consciousness? We will find out in the future. It will be a physico-chemical process. 
  • Does God exist? . 1. No. 2. I do not know. This is an escapist argument , called the IDNK argument. The proponent means that either God exists or not. This is similar to the we-are-not important (WANI) argument ie it is umimportant if god exists or not( Richard Dawkins). This may also be termed as the existence of God is not important(EGINI) argument. This is similar to the scientific-naturalism-is-the-only-method-of-reaching-the-truth (SNIOMORT) argument, which is a faulty one.  Here, the author considers anything beyond the scope of the scientific method as unimportant. 
  • Who created God?1. No one. As God does not exist. 2.. Idnk argument. 
  • How should we lead our life? As per our desires and wishes. You can adopt humanism, secularism, socialism, capitalism etc.
