I read something I found peculiar
#28
RE: I read something I found peculiar
Quote:Is the soul supernatural? If it's so widely described and observed, this surely takes it out of the realm of 'super' and demotes it to ordinary doesn't it? There's nothing 'weird' about it. It's 'ordinary'. Look at the definition/s I quoted and tell me where you get supernatural from that.
What definition of soul are you talking about?!
I have reviewed your definitions of "soul" and from number 4 and downwards are all claims. Baseless claims. If you are talking about one of those top 4 then the things I've said before were spot on.

Quote:Why does it have to be something to prove, and how would you suggest anyone went about doing that?
If there is no evidence there is no reason to believe it. It's not down to me to prove it. The burden of proof is on the one who claims it.

Quote:So the vast majority understanding it doesn't mean it is something? Maybe they mis-described it then. Maybe they're all wrong and you're right.
It doesn't matter how many believe it. Beliefs do not ulter reality. All six billion people can believe it and only one person does not. That one person could be more right then all those billions. Numbers mean nothing. Facts do. Reality does not favour the masses. It favours nothing. Reality is reality and beliefs cannot change that no matter how many may believe in something.

Quote:It doesn't explain the unknown, it explains that side of our nature. Like I said, it also leaves room for science to completely answer the 'how' questions.
I've never seen baseless assertions work well with science. God and such explains everything but is unconfirmed. It is unproven.
Nothing supports it.

Quote:The God solution answers the questions perfectly. I know of no other workable solutions. Do you? You choose to dismiss this solution and will naturally substitute other rationalisation for it. That would be like me consulting a cereal packet for answers on science. Not too helpful in reality, but it might make me happy.
For me, it's the complete opposite. Science answers questions nicely and religion is for those who desire comfort.
Science offers workable solutions whilst religion does not. It only raises more questions.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
