"Faith"
So, I've been reading through some of the hundreds of "prove to me that God is real" threads, and based off the majority of Christian comments, I've come to a conclusion: Pretty much the only reason people believe in God is "faith".
I'd just like to remind everyone that faith is the deliberate suppression of critical thinking skills.
What kind of God would give humans such intricate brains, then tell us not to use our critical thinking and reasoning skills, things that separate us from most other animals?
We shouldn't have to ignore science, or go against our intuitions just to be able to believe in God, and subsequently go to heaven.
Purse, out.

25 RepliesI believe in God not only by faith, but by the sheer complexity of the world. We're just too lucky to exist by evolution and by chance. Humans are the perfect organism fit to survive in nearly any situation. Our planet is in the perfect spot for just enough heat from the sun to keep is going. Everything about us is just the perfect conditions for us to grow. Even over the course of millions of years, this amount of luck would be crazy. There's also the problem of irreducible complexity. You take away one thing and the whole thing goes to crap. From a technical standpoint, evolution is next to impossible. The sheer notion that even through generations of selective breeding that we could somehow change kingdoms is preposterous. Most of the time, mammal hybrids can't breed in the first place.
