  What stance do you have on morality?

  @jaketheripper Its quite obvious really. Treating morality as a product of evolution, what is moral is that which is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Rape of any type, particularly of children, is traumatising and shows a deep lack of respect for individual autonomy. It destroys the life of the victim, and prevents them from being an active member of society. This is obviously not beneficial, as each member that ceases to function weakens the society and leads to war between factions.

  "Consciousness is an awareness of existence. I am aware that I exist. My question is "Where do I exist?"?

  You exist within your brain, since your sentience is you, and all intellectual processes take place within the brain.

  @johnpowell Great answer! @PandoraBoxx Thanks, that does change the context of the quote. @all This is a little too easy – what if there was an unknown probability of a friend of a friend putting things together? Would you take the risk to choose the stranger?

  @FishGutsDale Thanks for your answer, and welcome to Fluther! @PandoraBoxx Good logic there. I would be careful taking advice from the Bible though, even though it won’t tell anyone.

  How do we know the universe is infinite?

  @oratio I am not referring to devolving or total disappearance of humanity in particular, I am referring to the death of the universe. The universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate, which means a few hundred million years from now we will be unable to observe any celestial object currently moving away from us. There will be no trace left, as they will cross an event horizon, leaving only our local cluster which is too tightly bound by gravity. It has been shown that because of this event horizon, future generations will be unable to detect the expansion of the universe, because all the effects of this expansion will be in an unobservable region of the universe. Other phenomena, such as the acceleration of the expansion, would not have been observable in earlier times. Therefore we live in a special time – the only time in history when we may be scientifically certain of both the beginning and the end of the universe. I agree that it is likely that intelligent life will be around for many millions of years more, but eventually the universe will kill us all.
