This is our modern feeling. 

The arguments of the people you dismiss are based on obvious facts about the universe which, they feel very sincerely, point to a God when properly analyzed. God, in their view, "demonstrate[s] itself to us" by being the logical conclusion of questions we ask about existence.

I know you don't think their conclusions are correct, so you don't have to remind me of that.

I DISAGREE. IT ISNT MODERN OUR THINKING HAS LASTED SINCE THE BEGINNING. MONKEYS DONT HAVE A CONSCIENCE.

Actually, they do and we can prove it. So either you are ignorant or lying. Which is it?

Quote:IT MAKES SENSE FOR HIM TO BE NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. 

Assertion

Quote:IT PROVES HES NOT MAN MADE. EVERYTHING SPIRITUAL (THE HUMAN SOUL, DEMONS AND ANGELS AND GOD, ETC) IS IMMATERIAL WE CANT EXPLAIN WHAT IS ABOVE US. IF WE COULD THEN THEY WOULDN'T BE ABOVE US. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS AFTER DEATH?

Still trying to deny reality.

Last I looked, chimpanzees, orangs and dolphins have been conclusively demonstrated to exhibit altruism, empathy, conscience, grief, generosity, selflessness etc.

Since I am not current, other species may have been added.

Humans are no more than an ape. Your religion demands that you blindly deny anything that takes away from humans being special because GAWD.

Nobody can stop you wallowing in your own ignorance but you, yourself.

A wide range of animals exhibit the behaviors we associate with conscience in human beings. They may not, in fact, be indicative of conscience...but if that were so, we probably shouldn't assert that they are in our own case either.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You think ALL humans have consciences? What about psychopaths, paedophiles etc ad inf? Or are the not Gawd's creatures or something...
