Do we expect too much from human reason?
#88
RE: Do we expect too much from human reason?
Thoutage, you're ignoring the rebuttals and just re-asserting your claims. The God claim is one made by humans, therefore human reason is entirely qualified to evaluate the claim. It's not a matter of over-reaching by reason to say that a claim has failed to demonstrate its validity. It may very well be an area that human reason is not equipped to truly understand, but that does not mean a claim made in that area cannot be dismissed. On top of that, reason has justified itself as a useful tool by its functionality.

Take Rhythm's waffles example. I'm quite certain that waffles are not responsible for the universe's existence, and it's laughable for you to think that I would be unjustied in saying so. Given your insistence on maintaining this flawed position, it appears as if this is nothing more than an egoistical attempt to prove yourself to be on the high ground.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
