So would it be the same as a god without woman?

Man, in this case, is defined as a species. Homo sapiens sapiens.
Woman is a part of that. Why would you differentiate?
Originally posted by googlefudgeYeah, your meaning. (Good luck with that.)
Nonsense.
God cannot imbue me with any meaning. Only I can imbue myself with meaning.
If I am pointless without god then I am also pointless with god.
And you keep talking about properties of a being you admit you have no evidence for
even the existence of. You are in short just making stuff up.
Your faith is neither evidence nor justificat ...[text shortened]... long fine without god, we have meaning without god. OUR meaning.
Which is infinitely better.

Yeah, your meaning. (Good luck with that.)
Meaning, not God's meaning.
Keep going on about my faith being pointless. It is, after all, your one-trick pony show. Keep clinging to it with both hands. Sadly, it's all you have. Sadly, you're also wrong.
But that is what Free Will is all about. This is your choice? Cool. Knock yourself out. Jus ...[text shortened]... -learned logic. I'm guessing it will be as chaff in the wind. But hey, it's YOUR meaning.

Very funny. There are those who might say women are already in charge.
Care to discuss ideas about the purpose of the dinosaurs? Or, like everything else about your presence here on Planet Earth, was there no point to the dinosaurs because YOU don't give them meaning?

Oh, do go on. This, I gotta hear.
Are we indeed "All preordained - a prisoner in chains - a victim of venomous fate"?

No, the laws of physics.
We are the product of the physical workings of our brains.
They are made of matter that is just following the laws of physics.
There is no room in that for free will... at least not of the sort you mean.
However it does feel like we have free will... And we have no choice but
to act like we have free will.
But we ...[text shortened]... rd and accepted position of modern science that free will is an illusion.
It' doesn't exist.
Originally posted by googlefudgeYes, but the mind is a thing rather beyond science at present. I would add the human soul to that list too.

It's the standard and accepted position of modern science that free will is an illusion.Oh, is that a fact? So science accepts and promotes the idea of predestination??

But their point means nothing to me.
Things don't have/need a point other than what they can give themselves.

I could make the argument that the universe works fine with just the laws of physics and needs no creator and needs no meddling.
