Two babies discussion.

Yeah. I'm glad I hunted down and killed every last one.
And all the fairys. And all the gods. Feel free to send me a private message.

I just saw it and thought it was interesting. But it doesn't really do anything in showing argument for God and adds nothing to the table. As someone said, babies are aware of outside voices. That was me. You see babies do have some indication of a mother, which is not surprising since there is one. But we have no indication of god, probably because there isn't one. I could write stories forever in which people make correct guesses without knowing or having evidence. But they are just stories. What's cool is when real people deduce something they can't see based on evidence and then test their hypothesis and find that it's true. That kind of story needn't be faked. It's science. And it happens all the time. Wild lucky guesses, not so much.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

People have always sensed that there must be a god. (February 13, 2015 at 5:28 pm)Lek Wrote:(February 12, 2015 at 11:18 pm)Jenny A Wrote: That was me.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

People have always sensed that there must be a god. There are completely natural, evidence based, explanations on why humans have been believing gods for our history. And none of them require that any actual gods exist. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. RE: Two babies discussion.

People have believed all manner of crazy shit over the centuries. Has no bearing on whether those things are true or not. Millions up millions have not been worshiping a god and don't sense a damn thing. What about them? |
