Atheists Answers to DESINY (P3Q4) at backyard skeptics meeting

Atheism: God does not exist., DESTINY, Vital Signs #1: Life without God No Comments »

Enjoy this very brief audio segment of the answers we garnered from a group of Atheists at backyardskeptics meeting.

The Question (Page #3, Question #4):

“Let me summarize my views on what modern evolutionary biology tells us loud and clear…There are no gods, no purposes, no goal-directed forces of any kind.  There is no life after death.  When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be dead.  That’s the end for me.  There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning to life, no free will for humans, either.”-Richard Dawkins, PhD

AGREE? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Their Answers:

  • agree (3 groups)
  • disagree (1 group because they believe free will definitely exists)

The Question (Page #3, Question #2):
