I don’t understand how you could feel at peace with your life knowing that you have nothing to live for.

The human brain has developed to the point where we are not only conscious – like other animals – but self-conscious. Meaning, we are aware that we are alive. The downside of this is that we are also aware that we will die. Mortality is something many people simply cannot accept as appears to be the case with you. You have chosen to view your mortality as such a burden that you are seeking a way out of death. You have decided that, to give meaning to your existence, you must exist forever.

It would be easier for me to believe that there is a God and that he is concerned about my microscopic life than it is for me to believe that life was formed by an explosion. Order cannot come from disorder, it’s a logical fact.

A logical fact? What is this claim based on? In reality, science has proven that order *does* come out of chaos. Life on earth evolved in a painstaking process taking billions of years. Just because you cannot see this process in your mind’s eye, does not mean it didn’t happen.

The thought that what I do with my life here would be meaninless is utterly depressing in my opinion.

Do you see that so many of your statements are emotional responses to the problem of mortality? Your attitude toward what you do not like is preventing you from investigating how the universe actually works. It really doesn’t matter if we like or do not like something. Facts do not care what you like and what you find utterly depressing.

Discovering a “half fish and ape” fossil wouldn’t be evidence for evolution at all, it would be evidence of Creation because Evolutionary Theory predicts that such a creature should not exist. Evolution occurs by small changes, so intermediate species will only be found when two groups are closely related. Fish and apes are too far apart for such intermediates to exist.

That we have never found a species such as your Fish-Ape, or any other species that defies the evolutionary tree of life, is just one of the many evidence lines supporting this scientific theory.

So the tables are turned, sir. You find me a Fish-Ape, and then we’ll talk about the creature that couldn’t have evolved.

I doubt that you’re going to, but you really should learn what evolutionary theory says before you criticize it. I know he’s a pariah for religious folk, but Dawkins is an excellent place to start.

Go peddle your garbage elsewhere.

It’s actually a fallacy to state that humans use only 10% of their brain.  It’s not true.  That was a myth from way back that just kept spreading – kind of like the 8 glasses of water a day thing.   The key is to investigate these things and make sure that what we believe is actually reflected in facts as opposed to parroting what we hear.

The thing about the Third temple being built, well historically there have been many end-of-times cults/beliefs – none have come true as of yet so there’s no reason to believe that the story that you’ve told us about will actually result in the end times. 
And can you tell us which museum you attended – I’m curious to know whether it was the Smithsonian, Museum of Natural History or which Museum – mainly because not all Museums are created equal - I mean something art just because you hang it on the wall?
