The eternal circular argument is does
God exist ? For this to be debated like any
thing that may be in question it is important that
as a matter of basic principle certain parameters must
be established. And they should be that logic and reason
be employed and employed to the exclusion of every other type
of interpretation. But such an approach is rather problematic here for
such methodology is insufficient to provide a definitive answer. Since one
would need to reference the metaphysical and that is beyond the remit of logic
That does not mean the proposition must automatically be answered in the negative
as there are examples of what can exist in the physical world that are non physical though
Time exists but is not a physical entity. Thought exists but is not one either. Emotion too. Maths
also. And the whole of it since although it references reality it is not reality itself. So all these entities
exist but cannot be referenced any of the five main senses. This does not mean however that God exists
of course but that logic and reason are flawed mechanisms. But they are the best that we have. Therefore then
one can reference the fact that every one is ultimately agnostic from the most evangelical fundamentalist to the most
strident rationalist and everyone in between. And on the issue of morality originating in religion. That is simply not true for
morality has a psychological basis. Evolution provides the reason as to why that is and it is that Man developed as a social animal
