Is Faith In God Reasonable? Faith is Foolish Debate

[Reapin]

Theoretical physics can prove anything is possible. It does not make it so.

But it all comes down to one truth.

An absent God, is a worthless God.


Your God is irrelevant, just like your opinion.

Why are you wasting your time arguing with Nocturne? He is a classic case of Schrodinger's "not even wrong", i.e. someone who simply doesn't understand the philosophy of knowledge and how to determine correct from incorrect. He believes things because he was told them by his parents; from an evolutionary perspective its not a bad strategy as tradition gets a lot of things right, but the existence of God is not one of them. In order to convince him that he is wrong, you would have to start from the beginning and explain Hume/Popper, null hypotheses, and the whole scientific method to him, and he probably wouldn't believe that either.

Eliseus, has it occurred to you to try judging an argument on its merits and not whether or not it comes from a "credible source" ? I suppose that would imply some sort of intellectual effort on your part.

Are you saying that Einstein was wrong?!! Obviously Einstein was smarter than any of us and therefore it should be good enough reason for anyone to believe in god. Who are you to question his opinion on the merits of his argument?! He was math genius after all.

Argumentum ad verecundiam or argument from authority. A logical fallacy. One does not have to be very knowledgeable at all in philosophy to understand this. What Einstein or Newton or Shakespeare believed is not at all persuasive in and of itself. If they present an argument, that argument will be judged by its own merits. As the quoted poster put succinctly.
