If that brain happened to be an evolved brain (which, in actuality, it is) then it would be just as reliable as the created brain to which it is identical.
Quote:A supernatural creator per se doesn't need a brain because he has by definition all the absolute attributes. Is our brain perfect ? No. Is it reliable ? We are compelled to answer yes. And we should provide a rational justification of our answer, whichever it is.That justification existed long before we knew we had an evolved brain, and nothing about it changes just for figuring out that our brain comes from factory b, instead of factory a.
Quote:I don't think it is even serious to claim that the Quran was written by an illiterate man in the 7th century, and not one of its verses seems to be obviously false with known modern scientific facts.
Riiiiight, except for the obviously false ones.
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!
