Creationism

RE: Creationism
(September 12, 2010 at 11:29 pm)Liu Bei mixed with Leondias Wrote: Firstly, this a true arguement: i.e Polynesia, Samoa,New Zealand, and Australlia.

Yeah, but to suggest that because it is either popular, antique or both that it is likely to be valid is a fallacy. It is not surprising that primitive man anthropomorphised the universe, this does not mean that a God concept is valid or rational.

Also, the religious concepts were all different, to that extent you must conclude that either:

1) Either only one of them was correct or none of them were. The gods had different names, personalities, requirements, rituals etc - All of these religions cannot be correct.

2) The gods lied about who they were depending on the continent and ethnic group, went by different names and assumed different roles and played different personalities.

I doubt you assume 2, so what reasons do you have for believing that you are the one who is correct?

Quote:Secondly, No that is not the same, I have not rejected other faiths for lack of evidence but for princples or key concepts in the religion that do not make sense to me or ARE NOT POSSIBLE.

And you have an argument that demonstrates all of the other gods except your ones are impossible, or are you just asserting that?

Quote:Thirdly, if they haven't been disproved then they are still a possiblity that they are true, you are fundementally wrong suggesting that we can't consider a religion solely because it hasn't been disproved, we can due to the fact that they are possible and then we can consider arguements for existance, because if they aren't possible then there no reason to evaluate them.

I agree, you simply didn't initially relate this to a need for reasons for their existence, thus the confusion.

Quote:Fourthly, I see your point but to determine faith also is based on some ethical choices(or it should) so if it makes sense to you, as humans, we should assume its true, only on a moral and ethical basis not on existance which can be determined in if it possible. But it may lead to multiple answers. So thats where we choose.

Any methodology that can lead to contradictory conclusions is insufficient for determining the truth, Basing your beliefs on such a methodology makes your beliefs irrational. If you care about the truth of your beliefs then you would not use such a methodology.
