Anyone here see Mission to Mars?
I think that Mission to Mars is a great movie, and the way it ended was very good.
If you've seen it, then you know how this pertains to this thread. If you haven't, you probably dont have a clue.
this is just my opinion...dont hit me!
ok, how about this?
why does everyone have to come up with a reason for humans to be here? if there is a "reason" (reason being the ability to think and have opinions) then a higher being musta have put us here, nature does not have "reasons", unless you think of mother nature as a higher being. ok this has nothing to do with my opinion...
my point is, maybe there isnt a reason for us to be here, maybe the world evolved from bacterias to mammals to hominids to humans, and thus life is a biological function, not a reason. our ability to think has allowed up to form societies, morals and ethics by which we are regulated. WE formed the concepts of good and bad, WE created the concept of hedonism and altruism. thus the "reason" for us being here is whatever we want it to be, since its OUR lives and only WE can live it. My reason in life may be different from my neighbor, but both are legitimate and valid, EACH INDIVIDUAL LIVES LIFE AS HE/SHE CHOOSES, and if not, a very sad life it would be.
haha youre just making it to make me suffer!!!
well, that thinking bit makes a hell of a difference, i mean, which other species has reached a social and technological level even remotely close to ours?
the thing is, since humans and/or humanoids held this higher thinking ability, it is unprobable that we would have devolved into 'dumber' animals, dont you think? thus since evolution means 'forward', it seems logical to assume our mental abilities avolved from a dumber state, thus, other animals existing at the time.
Thats something to think about
Wow...
It would depend on how you were raised, and what kind of person you are, on what you would fill in those blanks. Your in control to make decioisons, but how you make them are effected by how your life was.
