Okay, let talk about special
So you would like to think you're special, that there is a GOD, is a Heaven, is Salvation?

After the earth, nothing matters to you and the evo-bots, to me it just begins to matter.
​
I missed that part of the TOE.
​
Where does it say that?

Re: Uniqueness
I see the world as it is, a God-given wonder.
​
How is that incompatible with the TOE?

Re: Uniqueness
Why could that not evolve? What is the mechanism that would prevent feelings from being the result of evolution?

Re: Uniqueness
I don't have any problem with anything you said. But also, see no reason that such capabilities could not arise along with evolution.
​
GOD, Christianity and the TOE are not mutually exclusive.
​
Who among us is going to tell GOD that he cannot use evolution as his prefered method?

Re: Brief Summary of my Beliefs, to provide much needed clarity.
For a possibly different viewpoint, can I ask you to read a Pastoral letter written by Bishop Sims? In it he explains why there is no conflict between your view of humanity as something special and the TOE.
​
it can be found Here.
