So what?

Odd reply. It's merely a scientific fact. Our species dies, the universe continues on it's merry way.

Only time "so what?" has any meaning is if you believe a (insert deity, supernatural element) somehow influences procreation. Then that draws into question possible motives, meaningful consequences... etc.

please read 1st post again. I wrote "in absence of God"

You asked how accidental births are possible in today's world. One part of the answer to that is religion. Many religions oppose any type of birth control.

Religion is relevant to forgoing contraceptives and encouraging reproduction because a world can lack a deity and still have people who believe fervently that there is one. This belief can influence behaviour, which in turn affects reproduction rates of a given population.

Therefore your "in absence of God" is maintained. Religion can exist in a world that doesn't have a god.

But why would atheists procreate?

Because we actually want kids? Because they are fun to hang out with and are more innocent than you?

I wonder, do you hate them? :eyes:

Because instincts and desire exist without a god being present.

For what? Passing on genes? In age of genetic engeneering?

As there are no gods and we continue to procreate I would suggest we procreate for the rather mundane reason of enjoyment and having offspring if we so wish. Why does the OP find this difficult to grasp? IS the OP a retard?

You have human brains to control those instincts. So justify your choice to procreate in absence of God.

I think he is acting as a retard but the  OP is just trolling.

Why should your offspring care about your enjoyment?
