"Illogical captain... If there was no universal dissatifaction for inevitable mortality and lack of a connection to something eternal, why does it matter to humans at all?"
I don't see many scientists saying that Creo's (I like Creo I think I'll keep using it) are totally nuts. Mainly because no one knows where we actually came from. But to be so dense as to ignore the obvious, the things like thinking the earth is only 6000 years old, or that instead of things being created in a long process that they were actually ZAPPED into the present state in 6 days is beyond ridiculous. Scientists are not saying that evolution is the be all and end all and are VERY open to scholarly debate. But the one thing that the CREO'S can't stand is that ZAP has no weight or interest because after ZAP who cares? If it was all just ZAPPED instantaneously, then why search any further. All we should do is ask God to ZAP us some cancer cures, and ZAP us plenty of food, and to ZAP anyone off the planet who doesn't follow our particular brand of religion. So, to get back to your thought on a connection to something eternal, why does it matter to be human if all we are is a big aquarium where a God tests our ability to handle different stresses? In that case, aren't we just lab rats?
"(I like Creo I think I'll keep using it)
I prefer Genesisist. It has lots of hissing, and it's harder to spell....
That is assuming God's interest in humans is that of a scientist for the lab rats; and assuming there are no other interested parties lurking around (angels, devils); and assuming the lab rats have no interest in the surroundings. REAL lab rats (other than Pinky and The Brain) aren't plotting back at the lab assistants.
You are skipping over a fair amount of theology and (if you will) "cosmology" with a supernatural bent...
Cheers!
