I don’t believe a man was swallowed by a whale and spit up whole and alive three days later. I don’t believe a man spend a night in a roaring furnace and walked out unharmed in the morning. I don’t believe in virgin birth, walking on water, talking bushes, food dropping out of the sKY or walking dead.
trust me, I’m not the “mental ill”
You continue to display your ignorance for all to see again, a reminder:
Free Republic is Pro-God are the owners and members idiots? Newton, Copernicus, Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, Faraday, Pascal, Harvey, Boyle, Pasteur, Mendel, Carver, et al. maintained that nature manifests the design of a preexistent mind or intelligence are these men idiots? The US Constitution assumed all human rights were bestowed to us by our Creator through Natural Law - the founders were idiots?.
You insult a majority in this forum, great scientists, and the founders of this nation with your ignorance. You believe your mind comes from mindlessness yet reject the consequence of that belief. Your brain becomes just another organ following physics and chemistry there is not free will no self no morality no reason or logic. You end up no different than a stream flowing through a valley following only the laws of physics.
Alex Rosenberg is a Professor of Philosophy at Duke University who shares your belief. In his book, The Atheist's Guide To Reality, he wrote:
The neural circuits in our brain manage the beautifully coordinated and smoothly appropriate behavior of our body. They also produce the entrancing introspective illusion that thoughts really are about stuff in the world. This powerful illusion has been with humanity since language kicked in, as well see. It is the source of at least two other profound myths: that we have purposes that give our actions and lives meaning and that there is a person in there steering the body, so to speak.
Is he wrong?
