I agree. To quote my English teacher, 'Meaning is constructed' by human perception. Even if life *does* have an inherent meaning, independent of our human ideas, this meaning would be irrelevant because it is outside of our perception and understanding. So the same thing holds true for the...

Yeah. I love 'The Shot'. It's awesome.

In my opinion, we shouldn't use an absolutist perspective in terms of either religion or evolution/biology when looking at this. I mean, yes, we could look at biology for an answer to how we *should* act, but biology in terms of evolutionary advantage doesn't take into account our human...
