What is nature? - A Neo-Atheist Statement

Stars, organisms, and planets are all a part of nature. Nature is the unstoppable force in the universe that if understood and worked with would benefit us humans exponentially, without question. Natural evolution gave human beings a gift and result that is immeasurable in it's ability for conquest. No other animal on this planet has this type of cognitive ability that goes beyond surviving. The more we understand nature in relation to the world is how the human race began science. Science is not merely biology, chemistry, and/or anatomy. It is a tool to discover everything; similar to philosophy's attempt to explain and simplify.

Science is the process of eliminating the unlikely to make the likely more likely. So when people say morals can be made by science they are right and wrong because morals developed science and science developed morals. True or false, it is easier to work with one another than against one another? Obvious, so science says work together because it is more beneficial than not. We all perform basic logic(al) considerations, analytical thinking and/or a degree of critical thinking, all skills. Understanding and mastering these skills by performing/receiving some type of educations and by practicing these skills can humans perform CT, to be better equipped to avoid cognitive biases and avoid making logical fallacies in personal decision making and while debating in logical discourses.

Fundamental religions came to be an acceptable answer, consideration and argument when trying to figure out what is the meaning or purpose of life, goal, meaning, and/or path to enlightenment. Instead of agreeing on helping one another to go beyond surviving, some people decided to answer with abstraction beyond logic and reason. There is no meaning to life beside what you make of life, but wouldn't life be better with everyone being your friend than a few select individuals? In true absolute reality in respect to the entire universe, the planet earth is microscopic, we are lucky to exist; the chances of life to begin from nothing are so slight! Chance and luck are just more words in which we place on supernatural thinking. When these words are reused as “proof of faith”… bad things happen. Humans are merely earthlings, we are but one giant irrational number of ridiculous + ridiculous number on the astronomical scale of the universe, and even to ourselves we seem to be special (anthropocentric). Which we are because we exist, life in the universe is rare. Must treasure it even based on the fact we are small and fragile compared to the rest.

Science should be used for us, to work together so no one is unhappy in life, and after that everything is extra. Get high, have fun, make love, be in love, explore, be the best at something, but live life.
