Who agrees that in the scheme of the universe nothing is wrong or right, it just is?

Answer 1

I agree that the 'scheme of the universe' isn't something we have any cause to believe we understand.

Answer 2

Right and wrong is determined only in the mind of the human being.

Often this can be influenced by others. The generally accepted right is not necessarily right. However, it may cause harm to a person to go against the generally accepted.

For example, there are some who would not think twice to kill a spider on their bedroom wall. It's the 'right' thing to do, as the spider makes the home look untidy. However, another person may be of the exact opposite opinion, that the act of killing the spider is very wrong, as not only would it take the life of one spider, but may also cause the death of many other creatures, following up the food chain.

And it also would not solve the problem, because no spider means more flies, which make a home look even more untidy.

For everyone who can justify an action as right, there is always an opposite opinion. Therefore would it not be most logical to avoid conflict by taking a 'middle ground'?

As someone has already said, the universe is inanimate, and therefore is indifferent to our decisions. We could become one with the universe by chasing that middle ground of indifference.

Also nature holds no bias, so we would become one with nature, too.

Answer 3

If you believe the evolutionist story that life originated in some primordial soup, then right and wrong are merely a matter of opinion. That is, if we came from slime, what possible reason is there not to act like slime?
Or if we are merely assemblages of atoms, then it is ridiculous to assert that there is such a thing as right or wrong. Atoms have no conscience or rights. There is nothing above man to decree thou shalt or thou shalt not, Man becomes his own god. No wonder that in 1859 Professor Sedgewick of Cambridge warned Darwin that, through belief in evolution, "humanity would suffer a damage that might brutalize it and sink the human race into a lower state of degradation than any into which it has fallen since its written records tell us of its history". The unparalleled brutality of the atheistic, evolutionist and secular regimes of the 20th century proved Sedgewick absolutely correct.

Answer 4

Assuming there is no God and therefore no final judgement, there would indeed be no absolute difference between right and wrong. In practice, however, some actions have good consequences, for us and/or others, and some have bad consequences. Therefore, our experience is that there is right and wrong and that we make judgements about these things all the time. If your house was burgled and vandalised, for example, I think you would definitely feel that you had been wronged.

Answer 5

The universe is indifferent. If there is a god, that god nourishes, sustains, contains and exceeds the universe, without qualification. Good and bad are subjective human values.

Answer 6

Yes.

The idea of right and wrong, good and bad, are formed by groups living together as necessary rules.

Humans have developed them most intricately, but other primates and other living creatures have rules for living together too.

Answer 7

to agree with that statement would be to say you think it is right? but i do agree thats what people should be aiming to believe....makes life much easier!
people perceive right and wrong in different ways....which is why we have the power of free will. Everything you have in life, you have manifested....if you think it is right or wrong then it is your own fault.

Answer 8

I do, at a cosmic level. On a human level, however, morality is of critical importance.

I don't believe in a personal God. If God exists at all, he must be a cosmic God -- a creator, not a meddler. Take a look around, if there's ONE thing God is NOT, it's a meddler.

If God exists, but is a cosmic God; disinterested in human affairs, then it's up to us humans to decide right from wrong, good from bad, normal from abnormal.

This can only be a good thing . . . once we forget about God's nonexistent opinion.

Answer 9

Sort of...

I know that "sh-- happens." Those things aren't right or wrong...

But I do feel that there are some things we do that are definitely right or wrong....

right-
respecting others
kindness
integrity
compassion

wrong-
cheating on one's spouse
dishonesty
killing (an inocent human)
abuse

Answer 10

It's all a matter of scale. Since we're all in it together, I suggest that on our measly scale we try to get along. Let the universe figure things out on its own scale.
