[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="Zackariel"]"Subjective" = existent only in the mind. If morality is subjective, it does not physically or temporally exist; it is a figment of imagination that can conceivably be eradicated with the right meds and technology. Example: I interpret the Mona Lisa to be frowning, while someone else interprets it to be smiling. Which of us is right? Neither: because the Mona Lisa is neither smiling nor frowning. We're imagining it. If one of us is right, and the Mona Lisa is smiling/frowning, the interpretation remains subjective but one of us is simply wrong in our interpretations, because one interpretation is rooted in reality while the other is not.
There's more to this analogy, but this is pertinent to the discussion.

Doesn't matter. You cannot prove that morality is objective nor absolute. All morality is open to interpretation.
Cop-out if I've ever seen one. Morality is the Mona Lisa: there are interpretations but I contend that some interpretations are wrong because they are not rooted in reality.
Buddhists have morals and they don't believe in a God. A better question is, why do you need God to be moral?
It's likely that the flagellum was once a separate organism that chose to co-exist with another organism. Hence the double membrane (the outer membrane from the host, the inner from the flagellum). The same applies to other cellular organs like mitochondria. This also explains why those organs have retained some of their own genetic material (separate from the cellular core).
Complexity was not born in one day: it's the result of millions of years of evolution.
How/why is it likely? Based on what evidence? Are there examples of such happenings? I think it's funny that you're asking these questions here on a gaming website rather than going to a library and picking up a book, or going to school/University and asking professionals. Since these things you're questiong are accepted science, I don't understand why you don't go straight to the source.
[QUOTE="Red-XIII"][QUOTE="Thessassin"]seriously guys stop ganging up on mind mover, what he says actually makes sense, life cant start from nothing and you dont have to believe all the parts of evolution. he dosent put his paith in the origins of evolution and whats wrong with that?Mind_Mover
No one ever said life came from nothing. Life came from organic molecules that exist all throughout the universe.So life is and has always been "infinite"? No, you are mistaken. Organic molecules are as inanimate as any other molecule, yet when combined are what comprise living organisms. The point is that the building blocks for life are an innate part of the Universe already. One of the most mesmerizing concepts of life and the Universe is that we humans are made of the same matter as star dust. I don't mean to go on the attack here, but perhaps you should study chemistry and biology a bit further if you're going to be debating life/evolution...
