Undeniably false and material is what I expected you to jump to, but can't you see any bias in this? I mean, cougars on the property would be better than that, really? Definitely tinged by your materialistic and naturalistic views.
I am sick of this bullshit, that because someone says nature doesn't need a super cognition as a gap answer, that somehow that means humans should behave like robots devoid of emotions.
Yes there is only nature, no magic needed. Just like you don't need Santa to explain where the presents under your tree really come from.
Otherwise Thor is equally a reasonable explanation for the cause of lightening. But somehow, I'd bet you rightfully reject such old mythology.
I am sorry if it frightens for someone to tell others there is no super cognition needed as a gap answer. It should not frighten humans to know this is all there is. We are still important in the time we are alive, and while our species exists. And we can still feel love and compassion while we are alive.
Yes, I stand by my statement that our brains are very powerful, and under certain conditions can cause very intense AND false perceptions.
