Is there evidence for God?

Fernapple comments on May 19, 2020:

Depends what you mean by 'god', for some gods none. But I would say that there is a lot of evidence for others, such as the biblical god, for example. It is just that in real objective terms, it is entirely really very bad crap evidence. There is for example a large volume called the Bible, which could be called evidence. But it is a book which was assembled by many people over centuries, without a common plan, whose authors are unknown, as are the dates of writing, which often contradicts itself, whose editors are unknown, ditto the dates of editing, we do not have any original copies, or even know how many lost copies there were, how often it was reedited, the true date of first assembly, or even the original language of all of it, etc. etc. In short it is about the worst possible evidence you can have for anything. But if you are to debate with theists, it is much better to concede that there is evidence, and then question what it is worth, than to flatly say that, there is no evidence. Because that is what they expect you to say, and that concession throws them, because they know that if you do say, there is no evidence, then that throws you into the position of trying to prove there is none, which they know is hard, and puts you at a disadvantage, because of course there is, especially in their minds, so it is impossible to prove. It is much easier to prove that the evidence is not, **good** evidence.

Fernapple comments on May 19, 2020:

Hello and welcome. Boy you are big on Noah. Nearly every culture has a flood myth, floods when they occur are big events in peoples lives, and overstatement is an inevitable result. The thing that interests me however is speculating, ( It is only for fun speculation, not evidence based. ) how the overstatement first occurred. What story teller sat by the fire, and first answered the question. "How big was it?" With raised arms, and. "It was the whole world OK !" And when perhaps did. 'He put on board two of all his domestic animals.' First become. 'He put on board two of all the animals.' It is fun to think about how, so easily, the omission of just a tiny and easy to forget small qualification, 'all his domestic', could instantly create a whole new story, quite different from what may have been originally every day sensible tale. Worth thinking about other things too. Like how easily a sentence such as. "He was not frightened, (Being the hero of the story . ) but stood up and walked about while they were still in the boat on the water." Could so easily become something like. " Stood up and walked about on the water, while they were in the boat."

Religion isn't the bane of humanity.

Fernapple comments on May 13, 2020:

No of course religion is not the cause or driving force of abuse, that would be putting the cart before the horse. Religion is not the cause of abuse because religion (where not good) is abuse. Religion is what happens when abusers get together and organize, and by so doing attempt to give themselves respectability, gain influence and political power, foster abusive behaviour by making others accept it as the norm, and generate on going abusive cultures which in turn create more damaged personalities ever more inclined to abuse. That is why it is easy to observe across the whole world that there is increasingly, a deepening and ever happier marriage between religion and extreme right fascist culture. Religion thrives by providing an alternative to secular culture, and if secular culture progresses and moves forward, as occasionally it does, especially towards a more humane morality. Then religion increasingly becomes the champion of abuse, because then it is the abusers who are looking for an alternative voice. The religion is not the problem argument, is to a degree quite true, but only in exactly the same way that the pro-gun argument. “Guns do not shoot people, bad people shoot people.” Is true. In that it ignores the fact that it is mainly people with bad intent who want to buy guns, and that guns enable them to do far more harm when they do.

Fernapple comments on May 10, 2020:

It may well be that we all have to make up our own morals. But impulses in the direction of certain morals are certainly genetic, or they would not appear in many different animals, especially social species of mammals. They are however then culturally modified, sometimes to an extreme degree. Where wrong comes into it, is where religions and other institutions especially make the false claims, such as : 1. That they are the origins of morals. 2. That they have higher morals, because theirs alone are divine, therefore belittling the morals of others. 3. They push the cultural modification of the moral impulses until they no longer have any relation to their real evolved purpose. ( For example taking the natural aggression needed in protecting self and family, and persuading people that it should be used to kill, rape, maim etc. people who could really never be any threat to us. )

All very true. Like you and a lot of people I like to qualify 'Survival of the fittest.' which was not Darwin's originally and the one I go for is. 'Survival of the best fitted, in the short term.' 'Survival, of the quickest adapting, in the long term.'

You never know when a frog family is watching you.
