Many atheists wonder just how anybody of any correct intelligence could possibly believe in an invisible good friend, or fall for the control schemes of religion. Still, what I've noticed is actually that individuals who are very religious are not always as unintelligent since one particular might suppose. In fact, studying religious teachings might actually enhance intelligence in many regards. If you are a great atheist you are probably going to want to dismiss this particular, but let's talk anyway, we can almost all discussion it later.
You see, researchers have found that learning a brand new topic or subject, for instance law boosts a college student IQ. The reason why? Because it is actually a totally different realm through the existing actuality and it is another way at looking at life, and I would submit you that in the same vein, it might also end up being correct for religious studies.
Adding a new concept (higher power or entity) is intellectually stimulating to consider of course, I can'big t fault any person for getting that path of allowing a faith-based concept to explain the unattainable knowledge of our present period'ersus scientific knowledge. One might inquire a devout religious studier why these people do not have confidence in in self above all else, or how they could have faith that these people realize their faith is actually valid? See that point, despite the fact that I realize Iutes just about all just semantics, most philosophy will be circular conundrum based.
Indeed, I'd hypothesize that the most entrenched religious fans may occasionally ask themselves this kind of things, but they can'capital t too much otherwise they will will finish up questioning their life's purpose and even their own existence. Some from the bible and other religious literature must not end up being taken literally otherwise it becomes irrelevant.
The other day time, I used to be discussing all this with a very nice gentleman, a religious type through and through. He stated that the nice book explains the start and just how it all began, but furthermore tells us that god will be and has always been. He said humans don'big t get this kind of because everything that we understand provides a start, and a perceived conclusion. Still, I stated that;
We don'capital t know that everything provides a beginning - there aren't any observable proofs to that. In fact, if everything is composed of material that has been below the prior then nothing offers a beginning for certain. And even the concept of "nothing" can't exist because once you think about it, you are observing it, even if in only your mind'utes vision, you have provided it energy, hence, making it something. In that you simply have created something through nothing if that's the case, which is what religious folks proclaim god to have completed, which would additionally mean he who ponders this kind of has the power of god, if you have the power have you been god?
Is actually this truth which you are god, that the mind is actually king of the domain? You see, you can not know, you would have no proof possibly way. The highest power is actually self. The highest power will be the mind, if you contact that "god" then maybe everyone provides a point of contention below? Hard to state, but I hope I've given you something new to consider.
