Religion/god is just wishful thinking.

RE: Religion/god is just wishful thinking.
Godschild Wrote:Oh, then I suppose that scientist do not receive knowledge from the subject they study, seems I heard from them that they do, is this circular too.

Nope. They don't need to presuppose their subject exists in order to study it and then confirm they can know about it because it exists. Science deals with the world that evidently exists.

Quote:How about an autobiography, when someone explains to others who they are, that's circular as well, shucks I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Nope. Same reason as above.
