Salty Cracker on Nostr: The cells in your body are constantly replacing themselves, with the oldest ones only ...
The cells in your body are constantly replacing themselves, with the oldest ones only living to about 7 years.
What this means is that every ~7 years, the matter that constitutes your body is completely new and not what made up "you" before.
If you're just matter that's evolved into a complex organism over billions of years, then how are we still "us" as adults?
What makes you "you" from this perspective?
It stands to reason that once your cells have replaced themselves completely, your identity is lost, and your body is merely a copy of what it once was...
By removing God from the equation, from a purely biological point of view, life and existence and essence cease to make sense.
What constitutes "you" is far more than the cells your body is comprised of.
Additionally, if we are just clumps of cells accidentally hitting the biological jackpot, from where do we derive morality?
We, even as creatures with a sense of morality, don't look at cells and try to discern which one is behaving immorally.
We don't say to the lightning when it strikes a tree, "How dare you murder that!"
Why then do we as humans have an innate sense of morality that governs our own behaviors? And how do we know whose moral code is the correct one?
Moral code can only logically exist if there is an external Issuer of that code because ANY code that comes from a follower - or group - of that code would be subject to the whims and desires of their subjective and selfish ambitions, and therefore would not be a universal claim on morality.
