God does not exist.” “The cosmos exists as a uniformity of cause and effect in a closed system.” “Human beings are complex ‘machines’; personality is an interrelation of chemical and physical properties we do not yet fully understand.” “Death is extinction of personality and individuality.” “History is a linear stream of events linked by cause and effect but without an overarching purpose.” “Ethics is related only to human beings.” (54-61) The Universe next door SIRE
