Angry Atheists and Anti-Theists

[T0 Th3 M4X]

Since we're talking about "brains" and feelings, here's a chance for you to use your brain and learn.

Temporal lobe: The temporal lobes are found on either side of the brain and just above the ears. The temporal lobes are responsible for hearing, memory, meaning, and language. They also play a role in emotion and learning. The temporal lobes are concerned with interpreting and processing auditory stimuli.

(Oh look, we have a region of the brain controlling logic (memory, meaning, and language, auditory stimuli) and emotion (feelings).)

Frontal lobe:It is concerned with emotions, reasoning, planning, movement, and parts of speech. It is also involved in purposeful acts such as creativity, judgment, and problem solving, and planning

(Again logic and emotion in same region of brain)

Cerebellum: controls your movement, balance, posture, and coordination. New research has also linked it to thinking, novelty, and emotions. The limbic system, often referred to as the "emotional brain", is found buried within the cerebrum.

(What?  Not another region connected to logic (thinking and emotion, + balance)

So there you have it, your argument completely blown to smithereens with a reality check.  If you measuring brain activity, how do you suppose you're going to distinguish what is "logic-based" and "feeling-based" if the activity is in the same parts of the brain?  So back to what I said before.  The information is correct that we know what the regions do, but it didn't do a lick of anything towards disproving his statement.  What's really sad is you apparently didn't even read the page you linked, but I'm glad you did since it showed something entirely different than the nonsense you came up with.

As far as your last statement that it was different parts in different brains isn't what the study said either.  It stated they were measuring "belief" and "disbelief".  It's not that they impacted different parts in different brains, but rather the person interpreted something differently.  if you believe "atheism" is logical (belief), then you're going to process it in one area.  If another person associates it with "disbelief" then they're going to use a different part of their brain.  It doesn't change the stimuli, but rather where the interpretation causes activity.  If someone has certainty (belief) in theism and someone has certainty (belief) in atheism, same place.

Why are you so pre-occupied with labels?

I'm not pre-occupied with labels.  He made a claim that someone else was wrong, then posted something that had really nothing to do with that person being wrong.  Why humor nonsense as reality?  All he had to do was read the title of the scientific study he linked that said exactly what it was studying.
