What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?
RE: What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?
Quote:I've heard that one before. However, I was referring to what seems obvious to me, and that is that consciousness is not of the body.
A belief without basis 


Quote:Our thoughts do not come from random electrical impulses in the brain.
There  not random 



Quote:Neither did our bodies come about by random acts of nature.
Evolution is not random 


Quote: It was designed just like a Boeing 747.
No evidence of this and hoyles fallacy is still a fallacy . Evolution is nothing like a tornado and junk yard . 



Quote:Nature had billions of years to design a 747, but it didn't.
Why would nature produce a man made object ? And the fact it didn't says nothing about it's ability to make biological forms


Quote:Our bodies are much more complicated than a 747. There is a big problem with nature did it.
Yup and there is every reason to believe it's a result of evolution . And no there is no problem as long as you don't make ludicrous  strawman comparisons  . Between natural things and man made things . Or comparing evolution to a tornado .  There is a reason it's called Hoyles fallacy because it's fallacious .

We also might want to add

Bare assertion and personnel credulity fallacies as well .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
