RE: Reasons for God

October 10, 2009 at 11:16 pm

Quote:Humans have conscious intelligence. Can that just happen?

I'm not even sure I understand the question or its relevance. My lack of belief is a metaphysical issue,not cosmology. (origins of the universe) or biology (evolution and sentience)

I assert only "I do not believe". I make no claims,so have no burden of proof. That honour is yours 100%. I need explain nothing,

I'm quite comfy with saying "I don't know" when that is the case,as it is more often than not..

I am not comfy with the god of the gaps explanation for anything.It's an argument from incredulity. It goes like this " I don't know or understand X. I'm too ignorant,unimaginative,lazy or stupid to think of an answer and too bloody minded and fearful to say "I don't know",so therefore god did it."
