The journal New Scientist has recently run an article called Born Believers: How your brain creates God (especially in hard financial times)1… Towards the latter end of the article is a disclaimer that ‘All the researchers involved stress that none of this says anything about the existence or otherwise of gods.’ However, the tenor of the article, including the title, militates strongly that the author’s preferred reality is that, yes folks, “your brain creates God.”
The article initially suggests that “God” is created in our brains as a result of “an evolutionary adaptation that makes people more likely to survive”. However it then points out that this theory is not accepted by many in the evolutionary community. Blithely over-riding this hiccup, it then launches into an alternate, conflicting theory that “religion emerges as a natural by-product of the way the human mind works”...

Who says that who support evolution are all atheists?
In deciphering your reply, I've come to the conclusion that you're atheist.
Am I correct?
Silly that is why he made Liberals.
The owner of this forum doesn't seem to share your philosophy, how about taking your concerns to Jim Rob?
You are incapable of knowing what “philosophy” Jim and I share, so butt out.
Oh well, so much for the strawman of God has no place in science.
Console yourself, though, with the thought that they don't really exist. ;)
Maybe we could ask Soliton and Coyoteman to fill us in on this, eh?
“You are incapable of knowing what “philosophy” Jim and I share, so butt out.”
Actually JR has made himself very clear on his philosphy concerning this subject, moreover, as far as damaging FR’s image:

Sure it can, just not logically. But in the liberal world, up is down and down is up.
He didn't, He gave you free will to reject Him.
“54% of americans elected Obama President”
“46% of americans believe in UFO’s”
So what’s your point?
I see no quotes from JimRob..
My statement stands
crevo belongs in ‘religion’, not news. - or won’t the RMOD put up with your trolling?
LOL!
==The never ending crevo debate is NOT news.
Does that mean the never ending debate between freedom and collectivism is not news?
Are you asking why apples will never taste like bananas?
==crevo belongs in ‘religion’, not news. - or won’t the RMOD put up with your trolling?
Don’t you realize that the origins debate marks where religion and science intersect?
Nice obfuscation of the question at hand.
You just said that if a debate is neverending, it’s not news. Thus, if we follow your logic, the battle between the forces of freedom and the forces of collectivism is not news. Well done!
No soup for you.
==Nice obfuscation of the question at hand.
Please point out the obfuscation. I’m all ears.
