As long as you will never pretend evolution has reason, purpose, goals or functions again I'm happy m8
>>
>>7567727
No can do friendo. Life has purpose: procreation. Any and all instances of "life" are machines with the singular intent of turning as much inert matter as possible into animate life.
>>
>>7567741
Just because life procreates sometimes among other things doesn't mean that its purpose is procreation.You're anthropomorphising.

Once you try to insert your teleological notions into evolutionary theory you're entering the domain of religion, not science.

The latter.
I can't sleep in my flat anymore after I was swatted. It was the only safe space I had and now it's not.
I guess we all have our little quirks.

Astighfiruallah Akhi, Fajr time is 6 nowadays, if you're going to be a NEET at least pray on time. You're not doing anything anyways. And at least work part time and make your parents a little happy. Jinnah is under your mother's feets.

I played DotA 2 for a few hours with my friend after I couldn't fall asleep this morning. Once I was disappointed by that, I went to bed. Had a dream about my rabbit's head popping off and killing a frog. When I woke up, I went outside with my dog and peed. Ate some chicken casserole with my mom, and now I'm sitting here in front of my computer looking over Craigslist ads and sending the posters their spelling and grammatical mistakes.
