Heh. Of course it's going to be lost! (We'll set aside the question of whether it's really "humor" for the moment.) The "world's going to end," the "sun is going to blow up," and it will come to nothing, nothing, nothing. So have your yucks now, you repressed little couch taters. Write po-wetry! Cut loose! Fly! Be free!  That's the spirit, Dembski, I knew you'd rebound. 
Did people catch this? | Quote | | Have you ever done some work, or some task, and then had it completed wiped away? ...maybe you made a sand castle at the beach and the waves destroyed it immediately. Have you ever had the thought, “I just wasted my time.”...If you have, why does this sense of “wasted time” apply to events in our lives and not to our lives as a whole, or to the universe as a whole? In other words, if everything will eventually be wiped away, if there is no afterlife, then how can we avoid the conclusion that it was all a waste of time? How might you persuade someone to avoid this “wasted time” conclusion, given your worldview? |
YOU'RE AN ID-BELIEVER AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WASTED TIME?
This relates directly to the "If there's nothing to ID, why do the 'Darwinists' pick on us so much?"
BECAUSE IT'S SO #### FUN!
Because I don't want all you UDudes to go nihilist on me when ID is likewise dumped on history's trash heap. Then you can tell me how to keep your hope in an ID afterlife.
The journey is the destination!  *Lights incense*
