    Why do humans like patterns?

    We can have symmetrical muscle activity yet feel unbalanced. My evidence is something you can do yourself: spin in circles over and over, then stop. When you stand you still feel balanced despite the fact you have symmetrical muscle activity. In other words, balance is a sensory process done...

    Yes, but how did it all get started in the first place?

    That's not exactly what he was saying. He said to know HOW something occurred you had to have been there when it occurred. It doesn't say anything about not believing in cause and effect because you can still believe there was a cause albeit unknown with a known effect. If there is a natural...

    Evolutionary Purpose of "Worry"

    Humans historically and modernly are social animals so even if I'm not sick but a member of my group is, in order to increases my chances of survival, I want to maximize the amount of group members. But more importantly, I think worrying helps us organize events to do, such as whether to gather...

    Evolutionary Purpose of "Worry"

    One way to approach this is to examine individuals lacking fear, such as psychopaths (not the televised, Hollywood definition, the actual psychological-legal definition). When they have a lack of fear or worry, it can become harder to learn and form connections between certain things. Since we...

    Authority.

    God isn't a human nor an animal nor property so our laws wouldn't apply to him. But I get what you mean. Well that is quite debatable because it suggests god had no clue what would happen and that he was care-free. These are aspects that are highly controversial as some parts of the bible...

    When the wind blows...

    By purpose, do you mean that the wind intentionally occurs in order to blow against the tree or that as humans we think all things have a purpose? If it's the first one, then no. If it's the second one, as a human I don't think everything occurs in nature by thinking several steps ahead. Some...

    Authority.

    To me, authority is legit power. When asking if a god has authority, it's essentially asking if you're a believer in that god. As for people having authority over others, well, I think there is a need for this so as to prevent utter chaos and everyone doing whatever they feel like. Having series...

    Christians, have you seen this?

    This isn't one of those light-hearted movies where a nice kind girl soothes and helps a lost, delinquent boy with something. When atheists see a child trying to convert them, usually one word runs in their head: indoctrination. If anything, it'd turn them away.

    Yes, but how did it all get started in the first place?

    You didn't answer the question. You say intelligence will provide the answer, well, intelligence is something cognitive psychologists and other professionals in the field are unsure how to define and categorize. So what is the purpose? You don't expect her to answer and since you claim to know...

    Shoe is on the other foot: Prove there is not God.

    :confused: I'm hoping I'm not the only one who has no clue what is so funny about the word "aforementioned" in Humanisheart's response.

    Yes, but how did it all get started in the first place?

    So what is the point in asking? If he answers the answer you think it is, then you say you knew all along and gets you really nowhere in this debate. If he answers the answer you didn't think he would, then you may either give him a "LOL" and ignore him, or you may lie and say you knew he would...

    Shoe is on the other foot: Prove there is not God.

    Now you've really lost me. You claim you cannot define your god yet you then claim the Bible defines him and you believe in the Bible, so that stands to reason you would be able to define him yet for some reason you cannot. Something isn't right here. What is quite funny though is that you...

    Why don't politicians and celebrities ever post on forums like RF?

    I'm sure many of them do post here but when one is a celebrity or politician, just look at all the hype they get, especially when you get in papparazis tossed into the picture. If they then post on here as themselves, they would probably get ever more hype. If I were a celebrity, I'd try to...

    Your religious background?

    I suppose it's a combination of de-facto atheism or agnostic atheism and adopting some beliefs of LaVeyan Satanism. When I say de-facto atheism, what I mean is I don't know for sure even using my own faith if there is a god. I like to think there is none but cannot know for sure. The beliefs of...

    Christians, have you seen this?

    I'd certainly have my kids see this when they're old enough to understand these concepts. The reason? To show them examples of what is incorrect and to have them understand the scientific concepts as opposed to simply knowing them. For example, it's easier to teach someone what a part of the...
