Addiction By Definition

Rational or not we are all driven by emotions, hunger, etc. Look at your ape evolution. The "rational" part comes in when trying to control what is irrevocably already there ... the animal. The "rational" part comes in channeling and enjoying the animal, good and bad. We got some smart apes around here.Nice image, too. Very good, Phat.

If someone told you there was no other life in the universe what is the most logical position to take pending more evidence? Given the data that chemistry and astronomy has revealed you would be foolish to agree even though we have not directly detected other life. The processes are very well known and the numbers involved are staggeringly huge. An agnostic position on this question is an absurdity.If someone told you that there was a giant polka dotted snail smoking a hookah floating gently 2 feet off the ground on an iridescent lotus blossom in your closet what is the most logical position to take pending more evidence? Given that such organisms have never been seen and that no known mechanisms are known to exist that could produce such an organism together with the fact that the existence of such a thing would violate several well established theories in biology and physics should lead to a hard rejection of such a report pending more data. An agnostic position on this question is an absurdity as well.Your god falls into this second scenario. Now this we should be agnostic on. Given genetics and heritage it is not unreasonable nor unknown for a little waif of a girl to sport a beard so it is not outside the realm of human experience to consider the probability.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.
