Heads up advice for atheists.

[Brian37]

The way I look at it humans are naturally spiritual and looking for answers.

Some people through out history have taken advantage of the spirituality seeking nature of humanity into that they ought to follow the guidance provided by that said person. An organization is that formed around those people.

When people come here debating Atheists, I think they don't care as much as to the particular point of view they follow, but for spirituality and God in general and they want to discuss that debate.

They talk about science because they might feel there is an intellectual scientific reason to believing a Creator.

At the end, this is more important to them, then believing their particular religion.

But when asked to prove how they know their religion is true, they draw on another argument level, that assumes spirituality and God are proven, and the perhaps arguments used to support it are true. They get more desperate however as proving a religion is true will not have very much philosophical arguments or scientific arguments. Or if it does, they aren't properly equipped to defend it as they have believed for reasons other then it being proven to them.

I think there is however this two layered thing going on.

The way you look at it is the way you look at it, so what. 7 billion humans of course humans are going to view the world differently. Still not the same thing as testing and falsifying claims to insure quality of data.

The best tool humans have that is universal to settle disputes on competing claims is scientific method. Everything outside that is your own personal opinion.

And yes they talk about science now because science is leaving them in the dust. They try to co opt it in order to stay relevant.

And there IS a very real evolutionary psychology as to why god belief exists. FLAWED PERCEPTIONS.
