No Proof = No Knowledge

RE: No Proof = No Knowledge
(January 16, 2014 at 9:04 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: An experience God isn't necessarily exclusive to Christian or Christians that's something to factor in the equation. I'm aware that it's possible that this could still occur if God doesn't objectively exist beyond the human mind but I don't think that's the kind of thing we can know for certain either way. It's a question of what you believe based on the arguments/ evidence/experiences you find to be convincing.
Precisely. Some choose to believe that Christ or some fill-in-the-blank has manifested himself through an image in their blueberry pancakes, or a light, or an auditory voice. I do not. When the claim has no empirical value, the cognitive sciences can offer us answers that holy pancakes do not.

Quote:You were filled by the wonder of Gods creation in the Biblical style though you were misdirecting this awe to the universe itself rather than what lays behind it all. Of course the Bible is full of the exact same kind of awe of the cosmos and life you experienced.
Religious writings typically are. All I'm saying is that the religious language doesn't add anything to it.

Quote:Though you're saying it was all a random/coincidental byproduct or meaningless process of some kind that just happened to exist for no reason or purpose at all. I don't see how that increases it's awesomeness.
Likewise, I don't see what's inherently exciting in speculating whether or not nature or its laws possess "intention." In no way does God add "awesomeness" to anything. But it often detracts from it.
