How do you explain the world if you don't believe in a higher power(God)?

within man are the seeds of his own destruction .......... so far so good ? .. so far so good ? .. so far so good ? .. SPLAT !!!! --------------------------------------- .................. http://dadmansabode.com/ Thanks for clarifying. I don't find meaning and I don't believe my existence matters, and I'm alright with that. It's not something I find to be missing from my life, and I honestly think it would be stressful believing that one's life had a significance that one had to live up to. I have interests and desires and those are sufficient for me. It doesn't bother me that it's all determined and beyond my control, either; I can still enjoy the ride. I wouldn't say I'm typical of most atheists, though. I think a lot of them tend to find subjective significance in their own ways, and the objective meaning God is believed to provide by theists isn't really necessary for that. I can't speculate to much more about that, though. If you ask that question to any other life form on earth - a tree, amoeba, squirrel, dolphin - you'll get no answer, but they'll go on happily living and doing what they do. What's wrong with that? Hey, why isn't the dolphin obsessed with what it must do to live eternally after death? Why doesn't it think life is meaningless without a higher power? Why? Because it's smarter than most humans, that's why. 1
