itt we discus philosophical theories

[uncle pep-pep]

here is my theory of life

everyone lives in their illusions of grandeur, hoping to slice a piece of reality to call their own, when in fact, everything you think is important is simply a delusion caused by the human need to feel mentally and spiritually secure. this is not to say that nothing matters, as we need these delusions to live as humans, but that doesn't make us right to believe so. and thusly i believe that we don't belong in this reality, and that there is some utopian mirror of this world in another space and time where we live at peace. ):

Really? Our emotional attachment to things in what we consider to be our reality is down to our innate need to learn. The universe as it is could be described as chaos, and due to our natural need to learn, we as humans have devised what we consider to be the 'Laws' of nature and physics. These laws help bring order to the apparent chaos that we have been thrown into.

 

However, a counter-argument that could be used would be the teleological theory in which it is concluded that there must be a creator down to the very precise 'craftsmanship' we see around us. The human eye, for example, is an immensely complex device. I won't go into details about it, but this complexity makes one think that there must be a creator/designer because such a thing could hardly come about by mistake. Some other examples that relate to the teleological argument could be the orbit of the planets in a galaxy, or Earth's atmosphere in what makes it hospitable for we humans (It is extremely difficult and/or unlikely to replicate Earth's atmosphere so that humans and other animals are able to survive on it).

 

Although I favour the teleological theory, I cannot help but still see its key criticism which is that our concept of order, space and time is open to bias or miscalculation because we are limited by our five-senses and our self-awareness as to how we view the universe, all of which could lead to a misinterpretation.

 

P.S. I like philosophy.
