I don't think we are free to do anything / everything. For example, I am not free to flap my arms and fly like a bird.

I think it is possible to find meaning without belief in the supernatural.

What is the meaning of life?
What is meaning?

What things are meaningful to you?
Those are the meaningful components of your life.
Religious belief might be meaningful to you in which case it is a meaningful component of your life but I do think it is possible to have a meaningful life in the absence of religious belief / faith / practice.

I find interacting with others meaningful so that is part of the meaning of my life. That isn't all though, it is good to diversify and partake in many different meaningful projects...

We know quite a lot about *how* we got to be here.
Biology doesn't really tell us about *why* we got to be here, however.
Some people attempt to envoke physics for the *why* but IMHO you only get more in the way of *how*.

I like relational ideas.
There isn't any such thing as intrinsic bad or intrinsic good, but there is relational bad and relational good.
If we ascribe a telos (purpose, function) then we can say that an organisms good is what enables it to achieve a purpose or function (or to florish) and an organisms bad is what hinders it in achieving its purpose or function.
So we can say that poison is bad or evil for people because it prevents their flourishing. Etc.

Ascribing telos is tricky though... One wants to say that the function of genes is to copy themselves. Why is that their function? This seems both trival and wrong: If they didn't copy themselves they wouldn't be here. But... We seem to ascribe them this function often enough (though perhaps we don't state it explicitly). Thats what enables us to talk about genetic mutations as *malfunctions* and if they interfeare with human flourishing then they are harmful dysfunctions (aka diseases).

But the function of a person is hard...

We are here because our anscestors survived long enough to replicate... And there is a historical chain to us...

But social darwinism is clearly false as the interests of the vechile (us) diverges from the interestes of the genes because they gave us this higher cognitive capacity so as to better achieve real time interactions in rapidly changing environments...

Dunno...

I believe the natural / physical facts are only a subset of all the facts and the natural / physical entities are only a subset of all the entities.

There are logical and mathematical facts, for example...
There are facts about aesthetics (that aren't merely sociological) and there are facts about ethics (that aren't merely sociological). I also believe that fictional entities exist in some sense (as ideas) and that there are other abstract objects that exist in some sense (e.g., numbers and fictional characters and other possible worlds)

Wittgenstein said something along the lines of:

The question 'why is there something rather than nothing?' is a question that does not have an answer'.

I agree.

For those who think the answer is 'Because God decided to make the world' then you have shuffled the question back one step to this:

'why is there something (i.e., god) rather than nothing (i.e., no god, no world etc'?

I think about this sometimes...
Sometimes... It fills me with wonder that there is anything at all...
