Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God

[masterofpuppets]

 So you are not seeing anything around you or you do want to accept what you see around you is part of God?  Again that something you position yourself in. 

 If you can not see past your own ego, you will never understand the deeper philosophies.  You will see past your own lifetime.  Sounds like you are waiting for miracle to help you prove there is a God, when all you to do is accept the evidence around you is part of God.

Shouldn't I have to have a reason for accepting that all I see around me is part of a god?  Is that the only choice, to not see anything or to see god?

It seem it's you with the ego problems.  You just have to be right, no matter how ridiculous the reasons why.

This is why out of all gods, the Biblical God is probably one of the least likely of gods to be true.

Belief in such a god entails that reason, evidence and logic all get tossed out the window. Theist's justification? Because He is "special". Why is he special? Because he's God. It's all a bunch of circular logic and special pleading.

When a belief is relentlessly instilled into someone from the moment they are born, he/she perceives, what are demonstrably the best tools (reason, evidence, logic) in acquiring knowledge about our universe, as being enemies of God. Out of fear and social pressure, theists simply lean on the side of God. A god whose basic existence hasn't been demonstrated.

Belief in the Biblical God is not knowledge. It limits knowledge.
