The Neo-Darwinists are downvoting me, no doubt.

I don't buy the Christian fairytale, either.

In fact, I'm happy to accept that none of us know what the origin of life is.

Life is just too complicated to be an accident of random, purposeless matter.

Life is also too complex and multi-faceted to be explained by any religion's mythos.

It is great that you've found a way to feel superior to others with your purpose narrative.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar, and please don't cross into personal attack.

Fair enough

So... you flagged me because you think I'm making some supposed statement of superiority?

Also, what "purpose" narrative?

Is contradicting the Neo-Darwinist model of life somehow not allowed?

Does contradicting it make me a closet Christian, in your eyes?

Because I don't see an answer in Neo-Darwinism or any religion.

I'm happy not knowing, just as I'm happy to criticize people who claim to know.

I didn't flag you, dang flagged me for criticising your character instead of an idea. In any case, I think there is a case of false dichotomy going on here.
