Watson by his use of language appears to be one who is self - absorbed and self - obsessed. He is unable to confront the awful truth that he is'nt important. Life (single celled) started 350m years ago and Mankind only arrived 600,000 yrs ago, and VERY recently penned the Bible to help other weak minded self - obsessors to come to terms with thier place in the great scheme of things.
Taking comfort from a notion that has no evidence has the effect of closing ones mind to thought and investigation.
I could come to the conclusion I might one day flap my arms and fly as this would give me comfort and something to look forward to.
Presumably Watson MUST accept my flying expectation is a reality as I have faith. OR like us athiests, would he at least require some independant evidence?
Can I not require him to give me some evidence?
Faith = excuses for the weak and the troubled.
