From Lenski gives Conservap&aelig;dia a lesson:

Trrll says: So you are saying that you would be happier if your were serving some other creatures purposes rather than your own?"

.

In your Darwinian world, humans no more serve their own purpose than do bacteria or cockroaches; although I suppose one might argue that in the Darwinian world humans do seem to posses a rather unique brain that generates an illusion of free will (apparently b/c such a an illusion confers some sort of fitness benefit),  and that often also generates illusions of purpose and/or meaning; and in the case of Darwinians like PvM, it generates delusions of a nonexistent god hidden in permanent gap of ignorance.

OTOH, trrll, if you feel that say Einsteins spirit vastly superior to that of man, or Plancks  Mind that is the matrix of all matter would make your life sad and colorless, then by all means, stick with the Darwinism that tells you that your life is and accident, having no ultimate meaning or purpose and that human life has no more intrinsic value that say a cockroachs, a view that unavoidably engenders atheism. Hell, the atheistic world view worked great for guys like Stalin . . . yeah, I know, a cheap shot, and frankly trrll, you probably dont deserve it since youre not nearly as uncivil as several of the slugs that seem to subsist here.
