Fundamental Arrogance in Christianity

[Neo-Scholastic]

So I say that in the absence of sufficient defeaters, belief in God is justified as the default position for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are peak experiences, transcendent bliss, and encounters with the ineffable all of which have been commonly and consistently reported throughout human history. Likewise, apprehension of ourselves in relation to being-as-such is both powerful and primal. The issue is not whether those experiences are to be trusted, but rather why we should not trust them.

They may be evidence of something, but just what they are evidence of is the tricky part.  That's why the default is no relation.  You've simply linked them to God because there is a convention of doing so.  And that is improper.

I can think of at least 3 peer-reviewed studies that suggest belief in God is instinctive rather than conventional:

Boston Study; Oxford Study; Skin Conductivity

Of course all of these studies are silent as to whether the instinct refers to something real or only imagined, but that does not affect my argument. It is natural for humans to believe in the divine by default.
