Beyond Atheism: Asking Prior Questions

Here are some fundamental questions I think ever honest atheist should answer. Unfortunately, I don’t think atheism answers them and perhaps can’t answer them:

Why are we here? What is our purpose?
Is science the only source of knowledge? Is there something more?
Why do we experience transcendance if it doesn’t exist?
What is the role of intuition and wisdom?
What is the role of the philosophy of science? (how can we have meta-dialogs on important issues)
Is following false idols wrong or bad or both?

    Amusing Robert.

    Really? Human dignity seems more than a culturally convienient value.

    The universals in math & beauty seem to speak to a purpose as does our yearning for truth, relationship, and justice.

    Hope is well!
