Dr Michael Shermer begins by saying that 84% of the world's population believe in some kind of organised religion and how do those who believe in a particular religion know that they have chosen the right one and everyone else has got it wrong?
He proceeds to explain two pieces of evidence that proves that humans made up God and religion and not the other way around. He starts with evolutionary theory saying that we are all descendants from cautious creatures who creator false positive rather than false negatives.
The creation of an agency (an omnipotent being) within a religion is a powerful force of social control. Then the second line of evidence is the what ever social environment were born into we would be exposed to the dominant religion in that environment i.e. India -- Hinduism, Europe -- Christianity.

+DZStudios1 If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have been able to find out it has no meaning; it would be as if there was no light in the universe and no humans with eyes to perceive light, we would never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning. If God does not exist in the universe, we should have never been able to know God didn’t exist. It should be as if our brain never had a perceptive thought about God. The word God would be a word without meaning. Respectfully, if God has no existence in the universe how could the brain of an atheist perceive God enough to ever deny God’s existence? If God exists in the universe, we should expect our brains to have perceptive thoughts about God - and we do - even when denying God exists we are expressing a perceptive thought about God that would not exist if atheism were true.

[@FISHERMAN331977]

+rontee24 So in your argument anything you can perceive is true or must exist? Try it! I perceive flying purple whales so they must exist. Sure I could draw what I think this may be or look like but it holds no truth to it's existence. Poor argument my friend!!!

Yet, reality shows as we discover more about the universe, the god of the gaps diminishes further. Science can give numerous possible logical answers to questions and eliminates the need to adhere to supernatural illogical answers such as god. Btw, we aren't even certain about the existence of god, but you seem to be very sure that it's a "he". It says much who is spreading fallacies in the name of science.

There is no such thing as God. Man created God in his own image and likeness.

Thiest often like to use the question "something from nothing" as their criteria for disproving the scientific expalnation of the universe but it also applies to the creation of GOD himself. Something from nothing is the response of someone who knows nothing about science or the universe and is simple minded. The onus of proof lies with the believer!

Although not surprising, studies have found that believers in supernatural phenomena, including gods, angels, and demons, tend to be poor achievers in the academic arena of what is termed ‘systemizing. The results showed that supernatural beliefs correlated with all variables that were included, namely, with low systemizing, poor intuitive physics skills, poor mechanical ability, poor mental rotation, low school grades in mathematics and physics, poor common knowledge about physical and biological phenomena, intuitive and analytical thinking styles, and in particular, with assigning mentality to non-mental phenomena. Another potential indication of believers’ poor understanding of the physical world is a tendency for low systemizing. In the Empathizing-Systemizing theory, people who are poor at physical cognition are called low systemizers because they have poor abilities and low interests in such things as map-reading, mathematics, intuitive physics, or technical and motor systems. Cognition is “the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. In other words, theists are so because they are stupid , or less intelligent…. just expressed more sciency or academical. We know only one study where intuitive physical skills and supernatural beliefs have been addressed: found that belief in God was negatively correlated with scores obtained from the Intuitive Physics Test. In addition, two studies have examined the relationship between systemizing and supernatural beliefs but both assessed systemizing only with a self-report questionnaire. However, another study suggests that low systemizing may be common among supernatural believers. The most consistent difference between believers and skeptics was that all believer subgroups were average or lower in systemizing, whereas all skeptic subgroups were average or higher in systemizing. Finally, one hint in the same direction is scientific education. Supernatural believers are more often students of humanities and social science than science students, and they have more evolutionary misconceptions than skeptics. So, because evolution is true, God does not exist…. The more the participants believed in religious or other paranormal phenomena, the lower their intuitive physics skills, mechanical and mental rotation abilities, school grades in mathematics and physics, and knowledge about physical and biological phenomena were; the less they reported interests and skills in systemizing; and the more they regarded inanimate targets as mental phenomena. It should be obvious that those who are more engaged in the logical and mentally challenging fields of math and science and who have flexible minds capable of addressing and conceptualizing ideas from multiple angles would be better equipped to assess the truth of supernatural claims. Therefore, the correlation discovered in this study suggests that believers are ill-equipped to perceive reality.

*A good example of acute rtrdtion, the b-allet dancer A.

According these Christian God believers that Adam was the first man but I saw a picture of him and he had a belly button.

Wait, this is pretty clever! I never noticed that before 😂

It didn’t say Adam had a belly button in the Bible, so any belly button in pictures is artist interpretation.

I’ve tried countless times to contact god, or to look out for a sign that would let me know that he exists. I totally agree with this Man, i will try to stop being delusional and accept the fact that God doesn’t exists until he proves me the opposite.

[@friedrichrubinstein2346]

What do you expect as "sign"? That the heavens open and you see an old white guy sitting on some chair in the clouds? If you want a sign from God then look no further than at his son Jesus Christ. His whole life is proof of God's existence.

@@Steven-ff4wl Lol, your ignorance XD Historians are called historians because they research and cite reliable sources. These historians didn't witness anything they write about, yet they are considered the most reliable source of history for us today because their descriptions match with all other sources. It was their job as historians to be accurate. What do you think where we got all the information about the Roman Empire and Alexander the Great and all that? Exactly. Those same historians.

I'm actually reaching the point of not being so respectful nowadays. Stupidity is still stupidity even when spoken by otherwise intelligent men and women . And that's OK, except when these intelligent men and women are task with teaching our children want is fact and correct in the world. Religion is a weakness that effects millions, and it should be viewed by all of us as just that.. Maybe its time we finally realize that these "otherwise intelligent people" are not quit as intelligent as we once thought they were.
