In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

[@dominikwendel3560]

Logical fallacies should be taught in school right after people have learned how to read, write and count to ten. And after that logicl fallacies should be taught EVERY YEAR until everybody understood the basics of what is observation and how it should and should not be interpreted.

[@dominikwendel3560]

At first I did not think it needs to be taught. However look at the dumbness of most people

[@starfishsystems]

It's worth teaching for two outstanding reasons. The first is, of course, that the tools of logic and reason are useful in daily life. As with most tools, we get the most out of them through practice at using them correctly. It's true of everything from sewing, carpentry, and auto mechanics to music and glassblowing, to name a few examples. Logic and reason are no different. The second is that examining logic and reason allows us to step back and consider how we think, how we solve problems, how we construct beliefs, and go on to wonder about the nature of the universe itself, what is knowable, what do we mean by duality and causality, what are axiomatic systems, whether math is an invention or a discovery, and so on. These aren't practical matters for most purposes, but they let us appreciate the vastness of existence and our emerging sense of how well it can be understood without appealing to the supernatural.

[@dominikwendel3560]

@Random dude I understand you. Same here, but after seeing so many people who obviously do not understand/misinterpret the most simple facts or fall for the most blatant frauds, I'm sure it needs to be taught. If you look e.g. in the Quran, you see that it was written by an ordinary man who took the knowledge of his time and sold it as the great truth. He also wrote what he thought was good even if it was reprobate. Hell, there's evidence in the Hadiths that Allah (Mohammed's sock puppet so actually Mohammed himself) wants a woman to pretend that she breastfeeds a man ten times when they are in a room together so that the man sees the woman more as his "mother" and does not get into mischief... Luckily at least Mohammeds wifes saw the erroneousness and scrapped these suras (for obvious reasons) after their disturbed (sorry to say that, but he was sick in his mind) husband died.

[@Ugly_Scallywagg]

There is nothing wrong with enjoying the world around us. We have brains that are wired to look for and enjoy pleasant sensations and we also wired to dislike unpleasant ones. Historically the latter were also very dangerous for us, so avoiding danger is good. And yes, the world is complicated and some things are very pretty to look at. But that does not mean an invisible, all powerful deity created everything.

[@starfishsystems]

Exactly. And there's nothing wrong with spontaneously coming up with an idea of how the world came into being. People come up with ideas about things all the time. But the appearance of an idea - even if perfectly spontaneous - doesn't automatically make it correct. This is the part that Scott seems determined not to get.

Frustrating exchange at the end. The way to phrase that question and help Scott see the problem with his answer would have been: "We're asking you how you determined the cause of the effect, and you're just replying with the effect. I asked you 'how did you determine the cause of the white blood cell count changing?', and your reply every time is 'well the white blood cell count changed!'. Can you see how frustrating of a response that is?"

You guys have a lot of patience with those people with low I.Q. You are better people than I am.

So if he grew up 4000 years ago in the plains of africa being hunted by animals, starving, watching family die of anything and everything then forced into slavery or sold off because his family didnt have enough food...what woukd Scott believe then?

He checked out all the formalised religions? Wow, in 1 lifetime? There are literally thousands of them active today, let alone all of those from the past that have disappeared. How does anyone decide on the validity of any of those religions let alone all of them?

[@Lupinemancer87]

Somewhere in this long rant, scott lost me. I wasn't sure what he was even trying to talk about.

Matt, Respect for your patience. I could not have listened that long to so much crab.

You can’t reason with those who don’t value reason.

There must have been something that kicked off the process that got us to here. And we call that, The Foot. Therefore, The Foot exists. Proof !

"I saw a butterfly" awww how cutiee^_^

[@johnfleming4562]

you mean butterflies don't prove that the universe was created by an omniscient, omnipotent, all loving invisible magic man who loves us and wants to reanimate us after we die so we can live with him forever in a paradise?

According to Matthew 6:6. I should pray in my closet with the door shut. According to Matthew 19:21 I must sell my closet and give to the poor. I don't see how I can do both.

What???? a contradiction in the bible? Say it ain't so!

[@mrnickbig1]

No one ever says the Earth is an accident!

[@chad969]

mrnickbig1 If an accident is something unintentional then how would it not be an accident if there is no god?

[@Cyba_IT]

@@chad969 Atheists withhold a belief in gods due to insufficient evidence right? A book is insufficient evidence that gods exist. No one knows exactly what existed before the big bang and no one is saying it was an accident or intentional. We simply don't know. It is, on the other hand, more probable, likely and rational to conclude that the natural universe originated naturally and an omnipotent entity from another dimension didn't magically create it from nothing.

[@chad969]

Cyba IT “Atheists withhold belief in god’s due to insufficient evidence right?” That’s correct. With all respect though I don’t see how that’s relevant to what I asked. “A book is insufficient evidence that God exists” Did I say or imply otherwise? I’m an Atheist btw. “No one knows exactly what existed before the Big Bang,” I agree but I’m not sure how that’s relevant to what I was asking.

[@chad969]

Cyba IT “and no one is saying it was an accident or unintentional” Reality exists the way it does regardless of what people say or believe, so whether anyone is saying it was an accident or unintentional is irrelevant to whether the universe would in fact be an accident or unintentional in the absence of a God. Intentionality is the product of a mind by definition, so if the universe is NOT the product of a mind(I.e. God), then it logically follows that the universe is unintentional. That’s true regardless of whether anyone actually says the words “the universe is unintentional”. That being said, I came to the realization that the word “accident” is probably not a good descriptor for a godless unintentional universe because ”accident” tends to refer to actions that, while being unintentional, are still performed by conscious beings. Atheists don’t believe the universe was created by a conscious being so the word “accident” wouldn’t really apply.

[@Cyba_IT]

@@chad969 you seem to be deluded as the rest of them . Give me your absolute best evidence of gods existing
