This morning as I was having breakfast with several friends in the Suncoast Skeptics group I had a moment that I wanted to share. It was a moment of feeling very privileged, not so much being with this group, although that's part of it, and they are great people. But we where talking about life, origins, the universe, etc. And I became aware of other life around me like trees, birds etc. and how privileged I am to be experiencing life and the universe the way that I do rather than the way that most, if not all, non-human life that we know of does. Having more consciousness of life, (I know some rationalists might argue the point on consciousness, I don't care, don't steal my moment!) Now I really don't want to offend any of my friends who believe in any Gods with what I will say next, but I also feel privileged to have been exposed to the right circumstances, information, whatever to have moved out of such a belief myself. To have been exposed to enough evidence to see that this life/universe is not only possible but more likely to have evolved over billions of years without an intelligence behind it is incredible! To be blunt, and again no offense intended, but it makes believing that a God did it, seem to me like a total cop out! Reality is so much cooler than the myths! Here's a short video that taps into my moment...
