Re: Professor vs. student: Discussion on God
The bit about the “never seen a monkey evolve” lost me.
That part is such creationist tripe. i almost wanted to vomit.
An actual professor would have said, well, we have evidence to demonstrate that all those things you shed doubt on are actual fact. I have SEEN actual brains, i dont need to assume the professor has one, I can be certain that as a human being, he will have one as well, so that is not something based on faith, its something based on actual anatomy. Infact, I can actually SEE the brain of the professor. And I can see the process of Evolution occuring. There is no two ways about it.
God however, cannot be determined to be true in any way what so ever. Its not based on observation. I have seen what the inside of a persons head contains, but I have never seen ANY evidence to demonstrate the existence of a God. Just belief for the sake of belief and nothing more. And I think the rest of you should be honest with yourselves, and with honest introspection, you will come to admit that you only believe because you want to believe and for no other reason.
There is nothing wrong with belief for the sake of belief. At the very least, such an admission would allow you garner the best from your faith, without indulging in the delusion that ones own belief is the only true belief and thus supersede the belief of others, from which stems much of the evil committed in the name of faith.
How dare you generalize that religion is only about faith and belief? What expalins the feat of Govardhan, baby Krishna who lifted an entire mountain to protect the good people of Gokul from torrential rain. ( as an aside, why didn’t Noah think of that?) Would you like me to give you more evidence? How intolerant of you?
