Centre for Inquiry Canada | What’s the point if there’s no god? Ralph Lewis has an answer. @CentreforInquiryCanada | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Dr. Ralph Lewis is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, a practicing psychiatrist, and blogs for Psychology Today. Leslie and Dr. Lewis explore the themes in his book, “Finding Purpose in a Godless World: Why We Care Even if the Universe Doesn’t”, including addressing some key questions:
- Does the universe have a purpose?
- Why are we humans so prone to believe that the universe is inherently purposeful?
- If the universe has no purpose, does that mean human lives are meaningless and don’t matter?
- How do we make moral judgments if we have no external or objective foundation for them?
