Proving the Bible is false in few words.

1a- OK I had to look that one up. I would say because this is the only perspective we have until we can talk to animal, meet intellegent life or the like. I'd be interested in discussing religion with a martian.

Its true that our human perspective is the only perspective that we have. Still, you seem to be saying that its some sort of priveleged perspective- or is it just a fluke that the creator of the universe is perfect to us?

Religion is, I think, intrinsically anthropomorphic. That isn't my idea- it comes out of the work of the anthropologist/ philosopher Levi-Strauss. He argued that religion is a projecting of human values and attributes on to the material universe. The most clear-cut case is in my view ethics. Christians see ethics as having a source exterior to humanity- they are, if you like, part of the fabric of the universe. This is imo self-deception.

1b- You are a complex entity, you when you speak or act it is based off of the "I" . That the consciousness is singular and immaterial yet your construct is material and complex. God you be both immaterial and material to affect this universe. There is no evidence for the material portion, whether that's a quantum singularity, dark energy, electrical fluxes or something as yet undiscovered. The immaterial consciousness is what we talk about most around here.

I disagree with you on 2 major issues here. First of all, I would dispute the view that 'I' is some sort of singularity. Secondly, I don't think that consciousness is immaterial. In fact, I don't think that consciousness could be immaterial and still have causal powers.

2-You're not going to like that the tests and evidence are subjective, but God fits that criteria for me.

Obviously I'm going to disagree with you. However, you'll need to elaborate a bit more before I can say much more than that.

1a-No I'm not saying it's privileged at all. Dolphins could have a completely different view of God, which I'd be willing to entertain completely. Until we can communicate with another species though, all we have is our perspective as life forms with our particular tools for survivability.


1b-I is the self. We are independant objects with different positions in space and the intellect to determine our place in that space, that is the I or self. As far as the immaterialness of mind. Brain is the word we use for the physical parts that generate thoughts. Mind is a term usually for the abstract processes compiled in those physical structures. Consciousness would be the self portion of that mind. Two people can have physically identical brains, but because they are 2 seperate entities existing in space they have a different identifier for self . Catch my drift?

2- Let's keep this about the Bible and not get into "does God exists" and what's your evidence topics. There's plenty of those, most of which I've posted my opinions on.
