I don't believe in Christianity primarily because of the brain

RE: I don't believe in Christianity primarily because of the brain
(September 8, 2016 at 8:07 pm)Faith No More Wrote: So, Drich, since you're always prattling on about the evils of adding extra-biblical doctrine to Christianity, I assume you can cite the BCV that says the universe is the product of human consciousness.  How do you square that fact with the biblical account of creation that says god created the universe before he created man?  And since biocentrism rules out evolution(there would be no universe for organisms to evolve into Homo sapiens), how do you line that up with your "monkey man" hypothesis?

And... Where did I claim, This theory had ANYTHING to do with what I believe?

Ever play devil's advocate before? Ever Explore a position not your own? Ever put on someone elses' position to refute them with their own tools?

That is what I did here. I know for really stupid people, it is impossible to imagine the mental dexterity it takes to remove oneself from a core belief and to be familiar enough with the other side's argument to dare represent a different facet of the opposing argument to their opponent, to use their tools against them.

For example the OP says he does not believe in God or after life because he believes that science says once your dead nothing is left. I simply put on 'science' in the way of this article and the larger theory of biocentrism to show him he was wrong in his repersentation of 'all of science.' Basicly with the very 'tool' he is using to dismiss Christianity, I dismissed his claim.

The reason being, If infact his base is unsure/undecided about us or our souls then how can it speak to the nature of God?
