You are probably right! This morning I read something from an author I like and mostly agree with. (Those two usually go together!).
What was it now?- !
Something to do with those who stick rigidly to evolution deciding everything. We do such and such because of survival instinct. We love for the same reason.
Some mindless "thing" programmed us to do everything just so our species could survive.
Who is sitting in the background cheering us on? Mr/mrs/ms evolution? Mr. Happy accident? A dot called Big Bang?
Have I no say at all?
What about those who step out and commit suicide? Was it the devil telling them to? Surely not a loving God? Maybe their genes. Is there a suicide gene?
Again, it boils down to, that we have very little idea of who we are and why we are here. Could we have been planted by aliens?
But somebody sticks rigidly to the mindless, unconscious evolution.
