If beauty doesn't require God, why should morality? (Bite me Dr. Craig.)
#16
RE: If beauty doesn't require God, why should morality? (Bite me Dr. Craig.)
Most of the higher evolved animals have the capacity to think, plan, play, etc.
They are all conscious. They may not have man's intelligence to extrapolate thoughts like we can. Our thoughts (brain neuron activity), is what keeps us alive.
What we experience as the sensation of consciousness could just be the byproduct of an evolved brain. No need to read any further into it.

It is this evolved brain which then allows us to start fantasizing about other non existent notions like, god, soul, ghosts, etc.
Just because we think of crazy shit up, doesn't mean any of it is true.

To give you an example:
I suggested to a xtian on another post the other day about resetting back to zero and to establish a fresh baseline on reality.
I asked him if the plastic toothbrush (probably made in China), which he uses in the morning is "real", to which part of his answer included multiple fucking universes!

This is an extreme case of how our mind can fuck with our own sense of reality if we let it.... Please don't get your "mind" in a knot! There's only one universal reality we live in, which we don't know or understand a lot of it, and this is where all religions have taken advantage of that and filled all knowledge gaps with their ulterior versions of reality. That's all, it's not rocket science ...the term "faith" is an instruction to ignore the little voice of reason in your head.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
