you writes:
I would think that if someone is objective (without emotional attachment and prior knowledge) then it is impossible for god to exist in their reality.
But you are wrong because if the above was true, then the concept of god could have never emerged.
I don't know but you make a good point. Where would this concept of god have emerged?
Somewhere in the distant past in humans' evolutionary history, there was no concept of god. Nowadays there is a concept of god. Somewhere in between, the concept of god had to have emerge.
If, as you said, the concept of god couldn't exist without emotional attachment and prior knowledge, then the first concept of god couldn't have emerged. But it did, so you're wrong.
To be honest, I would perfer to believe in god, but I feel the notion of god was 'ingrained' in me as a child. No longer a child, I wish to know the truth.
I was ingrained as a chid too. Then I went to college. I was an atheist for a while, but I became reconvinced that god exists.
I suppose it could be that the brainwashing was just
that good, or that we fall back on what we're comfortable with, etc. But from my own experiences I have concluded that god exists. That is the truth I know
Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.
