UPDATED:The test of realisms...

Okay, this is a neat method of understanding your own personal persona and living potential.

We don't know beyond death nor our beginning. But spiritually we can imagine and infer from that. I have religious standards which creates my way of life and death. Yet by taking this "test" I became tangled in a sheer test of understanding.

 

*Your answers doesn't have to be shared. Yet, using your answers is a good method of your personal perspective.

1.) Where did we come from? How did "we" come to life? Is it really from evolution or is it by god?

This question tests your fate and your religious perspective. Overall, it really means to ask if believe in god or not.

 

2.) In a scenario of being in a life-line death (this means your living only by a machine and your mortally disable in most forms like moving limbs, only able to speak, and/or living on a bed) would you choose death or believe in a further cure?

This question tests fate or diginity. Choosing to die shows personal dignity that you know your life is over and that its time to pass on or choosing to live and hope in that their will be a cure for your medical problems.

 

3.) Zombies invade the world, you live in the U.S and already infection crumples 70% of the population after a major incident in the Countires capitial causing many government officials to become infected. The economy is already "dead" and so is many of your domestic family and friends. You either become loss in fate which results loss in belief OR you choose to push on and that their will be hope!

This questions forces your fate as a questionable folly OR a test of humans. This question also takes your personal traits in perspective; am I able to withstand the worse or life isn't worth it.

 

4.) In a very hostile situation a armed criminal has you locked on sight. He lost faith because he is homeless and his ex-wife took custody of his kids. Hes pissed! You can only haggle with your life at risk. ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN YOUR ARGUMENT OR RESPONSE. YOU MAY SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T WISH TO DO SO. Remember to answer this question with your personal perspective.

 

 

The test is short but answering should take time to answer. These question really test your inner belief. Some may be more sad and glum but may sound more truthful than the bright and homely. Its up to YOU!

 

UPDATED: I need to clarify some general points. I said in number three to answer the questions with the 2 choices: will i give up on life, or continue fighting the zombie acopalplyse till a climatic outcome occurs. I didn't ask what you would do in the zombie acopalpyse. In number 4, this is a more YOUR response kind of deal. How would YOU haggle with the armed shooter. Thanks for the great perspectives and have fun :D

1) The Big Bang theory and evolution. I'm an atheist, I reject the existence of a god/gods.

2) If they haven't found a cure for whatever it is (virus, disease, mutation, etc.), they most likely won't during my lifetime, so I'd choose to die.

3) Choose to live, obviously.

4) Negotiate to the best of my ability.

1.) Where did we come from? How did "we" come to life? Is it really from evolution or is it by god?

I believe we were created by God on the sixth day of creation as told in the Bible.

2.) In a scenario of being in a life-line death (this means your living only by a machine and your mortally disable in most forms like moving limbs, only able to speak, and/or living on a bed) would you choose death or believe in a further cure?

I would try to fight as long as possible. Its not my choice in life to decide when or where death should meet me and because of this I will try and persevere as long as possible.

3.) Zombies invade the world, you live in the U.S and already infection crumples 70% of the population after a major incident in the Countires capitial causing many government officials to become infected. The economy is already "dead" and so is many of your domestic family and friends. You either become loss in fate which results loss in belief OR you choose to push on and that their will be hope!

Same answer as presented for number 3.

4.) In a very hostile situation a armed criminal has you locked on sight. He lost faith because he is homeless and his ex-wife took custody of his kids. Hes pissed! You can only haggle with your life at risk. ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN YOUR ARGUMENT OR RESPONSE. YOU MAY SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T WISH TO DO SO.

I'm not sure what your question is. If anything, however, I would try to talk to him about Jesus Christ until he either decides to shoot me or decides that shooting me was not worth it... or SWAT rescues me.

Personally I agree. If you read in context the man has lost a lot. Saying such won't do much to control the situation if anything escalate it. In these situations its more about speaking how you can CALM him then PREACH him.

1.) Where did we come from? How did "we" come to life? Is it really from evolution or is it by god?

I believe there is no beginning or end, just infinite cycles of big bangs/big crunches, i think we came from different realms of existence to manifest in the physical realm to experience life and separation from "god" so we could truly appreciate unity.

2.) In a scenario of being in a life-line death (this means your living only by a machine and your mortally disable in most forms like moving limbs, only able to speak, and/or living on a bed) would you choose death or believe in a further cure?

I would rather die, instead of being held by a machine, if i could only speak and think, i would not have much to live for, as i wouldnt be able to express myself, a cure would be nice, but idk, id probably ask them to pull the plug

3.) Zombies invade the world, you live in the U.S and already infection crumples 70% of the population after a major incident in the Countires capitial causing many government officials to become infected. The economy is already "dead" and so is many of your domestic family and friends. You either become loss in fate which results loss in belief OR you choose to push on and that their will be hope!

I already have a plan for this: steal a chinook from a military base and load it with fuel and supplies and weapons and have a flying fortress... (just have to find the damn keys!)

4.) In a very hostile situation a armed criminal has you locked on sight. He lost faith because he is homeless and his ex-wife took custody of his kids. Hes pissed! You can only haggle with your life at risk.

Id tell him, if you kill me its not going to solve anything and will only make the future even worse for you, i know what you have just gone through is painstakingly heart shattering, but things change, you will move on, and who knows what the future holds?

"1.) Where did we come from? How did "we" come to life? Is it really from evolution or is it by god?

This question tests your fate and your religious perspective. Overall, it really means to ask if believe in god or not."

Well a lot would argue that it doesn't necessarily have to be god or evolution but could be both, but i also understand and i think i agree a little more with the counter-argument that evolution makes the idea of god more unnecessary and more unlikely due the point that god wouldn't NEED evolution and whatever benefits comes from the system in nature of evolution god could have a better way of gaining those same benefits, like diversity and species, why not automatically have all living things be created as they are and stay that way planned out to where everything balances out. I suppose though that it's hard to imagine if there was a creator how exactly would he have everything work ideally. As for my answer to the questions of question number 1; where did we come from? some say we came from Abiogenesis, but I am not familiar with that theory and don't know of its practicality, or we were bacteria inside of a meteor, but how did we get in the meteor to begin with? I think Abiogenesis also would explain how we came to life, but I don't know if we have any evidence for that theory, how we did come to life would depend on what makes life, life, which I think is our conciousness which could easily be apart of our brain and the development of the brain. Are we from evolution or God? well like I said earlier these don't have to be exclusive of each other people can understand how evolution works and still believe in god, we have tons of evidence for evolution now so I think in this day and age, anyone who is educated and can think about it without getting defensive over there beliefs in god will take evolution as practically proven science and the strong theory it is, as for god, i am an atheist and lack belief in god therefore i lack belief we came from god. All in all though I don't think anybody has all the answers, and god isn't necessarily (and a quick and convenient explanation without all the effort in my opinion.) the answer to those questions.

"2.) In a scenario of being in a life-line death (this means your living only by a machine and your mortally disable in most forms like moving limbs, only able to speak, and/or living on a bed) would you choose death or believe in a further cure?

well it depends on what i could possibly make of it I guess, I mean Stephen Hawking can't do much physically but he still contributes a lot to society. I don't really know though as i would feel in a toss up about that. If I was still able to do something self-fulfilling then yes, if not, then maybe not, when you simply exist day by day is when you are truly not alive anymore.

"3.) Zombies invade the world, you live in the U.S and already infection crumples 70% of the population after a major incident in the Countires capitial causing many government officials to become infected.

This questions forces your fate as a questionable folly OR a test of humans. This question also takes your personal traits in perspective; am I able to withstand the worse or life isn't worth it."

I think or at least I would want to try and survive it merely because of the fact that trying to survive will still grant me some possibility to be apart of human's salvation to the fate of the zombies, and choosing to die would get you nowhere. I would be scared of being turned into something I am not would make me consider suicide to ensure that I stay human inside and out but then I think even if I was the last one to survive that would be worth the risk because if I did get infected it wouldn't really be me anymore and in that sense I wouldnt have to worry about becoming something savage and bloodthirsty because it wouldn't be me anymore, and as a species we have come to far for me to let it die merely out of fear of not being human anymore.

"4.) In a very hostile situation a armed criminal has you locked on sight. He lost faith because he is homeless and his ex-wife took custody of his kids. Hes pissed! You can only haggle with your life at risk. ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN YOUR ARGUMENT OR RESPONSE. YOU MAY SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T WISH TO DO SO.

Well I think I might be fucked in this situation because I would definitely try to convince him to not kill me but i'm not very persuasive nor a good communicator so I could only hope to not miserably fail at convincing him to not kill my loved ones. I guess what I'd say is that I am sorry for how shitty things must be for him and that I wish things were better for him, but that two wrongs don't make a right, and that killing me wouldn't gain him anything, I think I would also try to stall him till SWAT rescues me.

convincing him to not kill my loved ones.

earlier I misread the question thinking my family would be endangered then I edited my response when I realized that wasn't part of the question, but i forgot this little part.

1) This is three questions in one. Evolution, abiogenesis, and the existence of a god are not mutually inclusive or exclusive. So to go through it step by step, I think the origin of life as we choose to define it, was probably similar to the effects shown in the Miller-Urey experiment, or possibly the "crystal effect" that Dawkins describes in his book "The Blind Watchmaker", with the very first life forms being comprised of simple strands of RNA and DNA.

Then comes the evolution question. Yes, evolution is an observed fact, and also one of the most rigorously tested and supported theories in science. To deny it is to be wilfully ignorant. It is no different to claiming the Earth is flat, or that germs don't exist.

And as far as any god goes, no, I don't believe in any kind of "creator" god, or a benevolent god, as we are clearly not intelligently designed (why do I piss and cum out of the same hole?). If there are gods or a god, they either didn't create the universe, or if they did, it was not designed specifically for us. If a god created this universe, I still think we are the products of abiogenesis and millions of years of evolution.

2) Now that's a difficult question. Right now I'd say pull the plug, but you never know until you're in the situation.

3) This is an unclear question, are you asking if I'd kill myself in the event of a zombie apocalypse? In that case, no. I'd loot a bunch of cool stuff, and I'd take up smoking as I'd probably die soon and I have access to infinite cigarettes. I'd be able to do what I want all day provided I fend off any zombies. If 70% of the populace was infected, assuming zombies use humans as a food source, they'd all die of starvation very quickly, assuming they still require the same food to energy conversion rate to move as humans.

4) Again, I'm not sure what you're asking but I assume it's "what would you do?". I'd tell him that I've spent some time on the streets, and I know how hard it is. I'll tell him that killing me won't get his kids back, in fact it'll worsen the situation. I'm not sure why he wants to kill me, but I'm sure it's not a rational reason.
