Universe is by nature evil

[Ryan]

i thought by killing all sentient beings (i.e beings that can feel/sense pain) one can eradicate suffering from this world and this universe in its nature is neither good or bad but after realizing that this universe can again give raise to sentient beings(through evolution) its as though its in the nature of universe to produce suffering

I like philosophy. I would argue that nature in itself is neutral; neither good nor evil. However one can argue it is evil. In order for species to survive, they must inflict damage upon others for sustenance. Selfishness is the root of all evil.

Agreed. The universe is impartial and only existing. Things like "good" and "evil" are human constructs that can't be applied to it.

Indeed. Nature is amoral. Moral judgment is exclusive to humans and thus only humans can be good or evil. This is predicated on the fact that only humans have sapience and higher conscience as we know it. However, it is possible that some animals are aware of what they do when they inflict pain on their counterparts. There are animals with predatory intentions and animals with cooperative intentions. You might say it is only their instinct, but animals are not entirely driven by their biology; they adapt to their surroundings, like the spiders that bring worthless gifts to their desired mates, but sometimes end up being caught and killed for trying to deceive them. Could it be that these little creatures are manifesting a form of consciousness that we do not comprehend? If so, can we judge them in a moral sense when they inflict damage on others?

Based answers. As for animals I think they behave in a way they are programmed to behave. Many of them lack the sentience anyway. Animals can have tiny, tiny brains so it’s a given they won’t use it to function as thinkers but rather as doers. Because they are programmed to behave the way they behave. There are intelligent animals and they do make conscious decisions. Think of elephants and dolphins. Dolphins have been known for bringing people to shore safely. They mean to do well thus they are good to us. But are sharks bad because they bite us? They lack the intelligence anyway. They don’t think. They just act. Because that’s all they can do.

good and evil is human's byproduct of language. evolution's goal is perfection of genome while the way it's doing it is evil.
overall balance in everything

whats the purpose behind genome perfection?is it to survive more effectively

the fallacy of evolution

according to darwinism the purpose of our exixtance is to survive..if we ask them whats the good in our survival they say its cuz ur survival is directly connected to survival of human race..but there is a big problem with this argument..according to second law of thermodynamics the universe is...

The universe and living beings are just an experiment of the planet. We evolve because of cell division, and cells want to survive with any means possible, therfore work in collaborations to create machines that can survive and kill other cells that stand in its way, so dawinism in a sense. We humans have just developed empathy towards our own for our greater good, so that we can survive, just like our individual cells does together (by creating a body). Our experiences and emotions are just tools to guide us towards survival.
But yes I belive that the world is inherently harsh, therfore we need intelligence to survive, but luckily we are the species that have mastered perfect living the best. Our machine work in almost perfection to make for a nice existence on the planet. But sadly we know that one day our machine will stop working and we will perish and essentially die. The best tool against that thought and knowledge is probably religion or acceptance whatever

Also I wouldn't say evil more likely random

Other than being born without reproductive organs, it's hard to find a trait that would eliminate from the gene pool faster than experiencing chronic pleasure. There are all kinds of chronic pains to choose from, not a single kind of chronic pleasure. Schizophrenia? Down syndrome? Chronic depression that will eventually end in suicide? Disability? Mental retardation? Any of these things have a much greater chance of passing the genes on than chronic pleasure.
