Re: Flying Spaghetti Monster
just because humans have evolved to the point where we can ask "why do we exist?" does not mean there has to be an answer.
--------------------------------------------------
look...we either evolved or were created. There is no black and white. There's either a divine, all-knowing, loving creator or the universe -- or there is nothing, and everything (including DNA, life, physics, matter, energy, emotions, love, beauty etc) has emerged from nothing. Therefore your statement that "there does not have to be answer" does not fly. You are simply avoiding a first cause.
and this answer of yours is off base:
----------------------
Epitome of thought and design?!?!?! Wow... look around dude something is malfunctioning.... War, greed, poverty, starvation, pollution, genocide, and that is just the US of A.

God is none of these. Humans have been wonderfully created to act on their free will. But these are simply traits of sinful humans. Nowhere in the Bible do these things get high praise. These are man-made problems. Don't go blaming them on God.
This should be so simple for you to understand because you don't believe in God...this should PROVE to you that these are HUMAN problems....and that all evil and greed and abuse in the world are a result of MAN'S immorality. Well, the Bible says much the same in the book of Genesis. We are all sinners.
