It's not out of that feeling of remorse, however, like, just me wanting to be free of that feeling - I feel remorse because that person means as much to me as myself. If they hurt, I hurt for them, but all the while I am not concerned with my hurt, but only theirs. In cases, I would be willing to take on more hurt to ease someone else, not because it just makes me feel good - I would do it if I felt nothing - but because it may make them feel less bad. I'll say this right now - "I" am insignificant next to all of "us". Just because I want to do something does not make it self-motivated, for understanding happiness and unhappiness, I think it would be great for others to have happiness and peace. In that case, "I" am not an object. The next person might as well be me.

I think the general theory of evolution is scientifically ignorant. I think naturalism is ignorant. I think atheism and abiogenesis is ignorant. You think the opposite from the sounds of it. Just stating something is ignorant just like that, really isn't saying anything.
