Humanity has envisioned thousands of gods. There is no evidence for any of them.
After a while the probability that any of them are factual recedes to nothing.

What would my beliefs on god be considered?

But if "the possibility of 'god' is equal to almost anything else" like you said, wouldn't being agnostic about it be the most intellectually honest position? Are you agnostic about unicorns? Honestly I think the question of the existence of a fantasy figure is not worth asking.

We know enough about the world to the point where being agnostic about unicorns would irrational. But in my opinion, the beginning of the universe is different because we know so little about it except that there was a beginning. Just my opinion. RE: What would my beliefs on god be considered?

Sorry, that's a thinly-veiled 'god of the gaps' argument.
"I don't know so god." Sorry. Doesn't cut it. God has been systematically eliminated by science from a whole host of things that man thought he needed a god to explain. The beginning of the universe is simply one more of them and really, how long has serious study of the cosmos been going on? Give them some time to put god finally on the unemployment line. We don't need him anymore. (December 21, 2013 at 1:06 am)taylor93112 Wrote:(December 21, 2013 at 12:51 am)pineapplebunnybounce Wrote: Are you agnostic about unicorns? No, we don't know enough about the world to know for certain unicorns don't exist. The reason it's ridiculous to ask isn't because we know enough but that the only reason we're asking is because someone wrote about it. God is just like that, the only reasons people are asking is because he came up in their imagination one day. Why is it reasonable to ask if a fabricated being exist? Do hobbits exist? Does bigfoot? Yeti? Are we going to even entertain this question enough to say we don't know? How about why did you even ask that? |
