I think you misunderstood my post.
the “random collection of stardust” quote is what I say to the humanist who tries to borrow the Christian-based existance of absolute morality by which any value system can be judged.
My point is, he, the humanist, has no superior basis for his morality within his proposed worldview than I do, also within his worldview. We’re both just stardust, within his worldview.
When you hold a materialist to consistency, no basis exists for right or wrong, nor for even simple “meaning”. It’s a very depressing worldview to hold, if held consistently.
Oh, I do agree with your statement, dear MrB!!!
Sorry for not realizing "who" was making the "random stardust" argument. Still, I think what I wrote still holds.
Whatever. It seems to me that Romans 1:20 has the final say:
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:IOW, God cannot ever be seen "directly," but only through His effects....
But the "humanists" evidently refuse to look.
