Deep Sight: The point is the improbability of the existence of something such as a house - absent a builder.
You think that it is impossible for mindless matter to combine and coalesce over time to form a house. And yet you believe that mindless matter combined and coalesced over time to form the awe-inspiring house that houses you: your body: a fearsome mystery: a system more powerful, coordinated and intelligent than the most advanced computers can ever be. . . . Your insight here is inspiring. |

MyJoe: I'm doing good. I trust you are too.
Yes, you have consistently spoken of your belief in God being anchored on intuition and empiricism. “Appeal to intuition”, then, wasn’t the best way for me to put it.
I disagree with much of what plaetton has written – however, some quick points.
If the question “Is there EVIDENCE for God?” is asked, a Yes or a No would both be good answers, in my view. Here’s why.
1. God is not tangible – no one has ever seen him.
2. God is not to be seen in this dimension so the tools of science and research are useless in finding him.
3. Extra-sense perceptions of God, dreams, near death experiences, soul travel, etc, are subjective experiences – I mean, they always present a porter only the experiencer can log on to. (That explains why materialists like Martian and logicboy would hastily, and probably in ignorance, dismiss them as either lies, reading too much into ordinary things, or pure hallucinations.)
4. “Intuition” is tendentious, spectacularly subjective, and cannot be relied upon for the apprehension of objective truth. Logicboy did a sound critique of it above. I put a very similar argument to you in the past – where logicboy used the illustration of tribal folks believing the world is flat, I used that of Hindus venerating cows.
5. Outside an individual’s head, extra-sense perceptions cannot be equated with sense perceptions – that will make nonsense of the word “objectivity”.
6. The First Cause argument is good. But so is the counterargument.
I recall a cousin telling me he believes in God simply because he is comfortable with that position. At the end of the day that is what it often comes down to for the majority of thinking people – the position you prefer, since, according to Kierkegaard, you have to take a position.
Personally, I believe in the creator God because I am convinced that while a stone can have landed on the roadside without someone deliberately putting it there, the house I live in can’t have come about that way (“the improbable protrusion in reality”). But some atheists (like plaetton), on other hand, have reviewed the science available which tells them that the Big Bang came out of nothing without an apparent need for intelligent intervention. Some other atheists (like mazaje) insist that we don’t really know how it all started and since we can’t see any God or lightenings of him (and can't know even if we do since we don't know what God looks or sounds like) we can’t just conclude that God must be responsible. No lack of depth or thought there.
Besides, if we accept your argument we would have to accept the reverse argument that believers are necessarily the ones with depth and thought. I like your point of view. Very nice. Thanks for that. |
