[QUOTE="Saturos3091"][QUOTE="enterawesome"]I choose ignorance.black_cat19

I'd choose this, but that takes everything out of life. If we knew everything, there would be nothing to learn. We would be nearly omnipotent, and life would be boring. It's a lose-lose situation really.

I don't think solving ignorance necessarily means we would know everything, even if everyone got some kind of college-level knowledge, that would still be a BIG improvement.

Well yeah, but ignorance as a general term means the lack of knowledge. It can be applied to everything. If you were to get rid of just ignorance I'd think you'd have to be a bit more specific as to ignorance of what kind. Race? Religion? Culture? Career? It goes on quite a bit, and solving one would be a big improvement but I don't know if it'd be worthy of being the one problem you could solve since it wouldn't be as big an improvement as say, ending poverty (somehow).

Humanity. If we can't live on Earth without crapping it all up, we don't deserve to be here.

Remove humankind's inclination toward greed.

If humans weren't so interested in serving their own interests, I believe a lot of the other problems existing on earth could be solved.

Political correctness. I'm just over it. But then I couldn't have the pleasure of being labelled an archaic, close-minded, bigoted, misogynistic, right-wing, fundamentalistic, neanderthal. :P

this a natural thing that every animal on earth has (humans are no exception), if animals put something else before themselves then they would probably die out

[QUOTE="Pyro767"]

[QUOTE="-Chimera-"] What does evolution have to do with any of that?-Chimera-

Uh, how about the fact that atheists believe in evolution almost completely and theists don't in general. And why are you arguing with me? I said I'd be perfectly happy with becoming an atheist if I knew that it were the one truth, but I don't know that, and not you nor anyone else can force me to accept it as one truth until a point at which one truth has been totally revealed. Suck it.

Evolution doesn't have any sort of theological implications at all, and the only reason why it's so controversial and brought up in these sorts of discussions is because of religious fundamentalists that pick out anything that conflicts with their beliefs. And I'd really like to see how you can make any sort of correlation between the acceptance of evolution and theism. I'm not trying to argue with you, and I'm not trying to convince you to accept evolution. I'm just trying to explain that evolution isn't directly related to religion.

There is no such thing as evolution, just a list of creatures that Chuck Norris allows to live!
