I agree with Mike, the universe is evolving so that there is a deeper appreciation of the beauty of nature which is wider spread than it has been. But I realize that your world is not like this.

The world is not like this. I mean, the world is not 'my world', 'your world', 'his world', 'her world'... The world doesn't exist according to our dictation, as you once told me. Or should we accept that all views of the world are true (as subversion defends) and therefore admit, for example, that the Nazi view that the arian race is the unique perfect race and the rest should be erradicated, is correct?
It's not that we disagree about what the goddes has given us, it's that I believe there is no godess to give anything. And never ever never have I recieved any poitn from you or other theists to believe there is a godess. And even if there was a godess, it wouldn't affect my life: you are not more happy/positive due to the fact that you believe in the godess, you are more happy/positive because you recieve a confidence-in-the-world sensation and other 'intuitional statements' from the belief. Some people are like you, in fact, most, and like and feel ok about lying to themselves in order to feel happiness... Well I'll tell you that I prefer to live and die unhappy if it is what I need (and it is) to follow the truth (which you so much times mention and talk about exaltivelly, but really don't follow you'r own words). There is no reason to believe that the universe is evolving into a deeper apreciation of the beauty of nature, in fact, we've lost the ideal of beauty, and we don't even know wether the universe allows a deeper understanding of anything, if not we would have the TOE (I mean, by this, that the TOE wonĄ't be acheived by some magical jump from present knowledge to future knowledge, that it won't be a new thing that we don't have, for this is not possible, as we are humans, so we will ahcieve the TOE step by step, inventing and improving).
