But such beliefs are usually related to mundane subjects like the interpretation of some natural phenomenon, not beliefs about ultimate reality, which are -we can assume- something that these people very carefully thought about.
Gödel even attempted a mathematical proof of God, a formulation of Anselm's variant of the ontological argument:

And some fools here are trying to convince me Gödel is a moron because he believed in God
More that this was one of their moronic ideas, and you understand that smart people have them. You have them as well, this thread has been full of them. You could stop, though, in ways that dead people from history can’t. Mind you I’m not talking about you not believing in your ridiculous god anymore- I’m referring to your stunning incompetence as an apologist. You could get better at it. , or just stop.
Quote:If scientific laws are descriptive, they describe a universe that is in accordance with these laws. This universe still needs an explanation (according to the principle of sufficient reason, as it's usually called) and a lawgiver is by definition a better explanation of a universe following laws than some ordinary natural cause.
There’s no if, they are descriptive and require no law giver. It was a moronic idea of yours. The universe isn’t following anything, and gods explain nothing.
Have you given any thought to the question I asked you? Of what happens to a faith when a false thing is insisted to be necessarily true?
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!
