BEFORE USING "ABSURD OR GOOFY" TAKE A LOOK AT A.E. WILDER SMITHS WRITINGS. THIS IS A SCIENTIST THAT HAS FIVE EARNED DOCTORATES IN SCIENCE. BASED ON A 20 YEARS AVOCATION IN THE SUBJECT I HAVE IT NARROWED DOWN TO THIS.... EDUCATED PEOPLE BELIEVE IN MACRO-EVOLUTION BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT EDUCATED PEOPLE BELIEVE IN MACRO-EVOLUTION.
Thanks for a quick illustration of #16.
Please don't shout on your next post, OK? Thanks.
"Were it not for the existence of sin in the world, says Calvin, human beings would believe in God to the same degree and with the same natural spontaneity displayed in our belief in the existence of other persons, or an external world, or the past. This is the natural human condition; it is because of our presently unnatural sinful condition that many of us find belief in God difficult or absurd. The fact is, Calvin thinks, one who does not believe in God is in an epistemically defective position-rather like someone who does not believe that his wife exists, or thinks that she is a cleverly constructed robot that has no thoughts, feelings, or consciousness. Thus the believer reverses Freud and Marx, claiming that what they see...
as sickness---is really health and what they see as health is really sickness."
