I have a question of those that say God exists, doesn't exist or maybe, how many people have actually gone out and tried to find him? I think it's great if you have an opinion but it would be even better if there was a reason behind it.
Reason? That's silly. Every way you'd find evidence of god would just be explained by science and made worthless (e.g. Anneliese Michel aka Emily Rose). Even philosophy has failed to prove or disprove god. It's a pretty hopeless undertaking.
I would just wonder how scientist would be able to prove and explain the concept of beauty. Why is it that when I look out of my window and see the brightness of the sun, and call it beautiful? Or the raw power of lightning and thunder and call that beautiful? Not to bombard you with questions but I think its a very interesting thing to think about. Don't you.
No prob, it's basically the same question repeated. The scientist would probably say, that based on the person's experiences in life, the person has come to believe a certain standard of "beauty". Person sees something matching that standard, and their brain releases pleasure chemicals. Or something like that.
There is beauty in nature, as most of us would agree, but I do think it does depend on so many factors. Lol, are you suggesting that beauty is just beauty, that we simply accept it w/out reason? Because I beg to differ. Perfect example (though may not be very relevant in this topic): The idea of physical beauty has changed over the years.
@chueisha That's why they say the world's a gray area, who can define what is right and what is wrong? Even the law is defined by a majority of human beings, but what makes that right? Just because a whole mass of people believe it's right, doesn't mean it is.
