Topic	Do you believe in a god/gods/other spiritual beings?
Deutschenlied 03/05/24 8:56:55 AM #301:	falayyou01 posted... my issue is with naturalist doctrine which a lot of scientists implicitly follow, whether they acknowledge it or not. Assuming natural laws are the only laws that govern the universe is pure ignorance and anyone who subscribes to that notion is ignorant because theyre excluding the possibility of the spiritual / supernatural elements, which lie beyond the realm of understanding, but nevertheless remains a key aspect of civilizations throughout history. Why? Why do we need to actively believe in the possibility of the supernatural? Why can't we just know what we know at any point in time, not know stuff that can't be known and that be good enough? "The books say they are truth and there must be more than nature" Why? Humans are odd. Many of us are so ignorant, yet we created religion because we are too proud to admit ignorance. We always have to fill the gaps in our knowledge with supernatural instead of going "I don't know right now." Everything we know now was once unknowable and beyond our collective understanding. We don't need to rush and have all the answers now. There is no reason to go beyond logic and nature. Why believe in anything? You can't actually explain what makes the Quran or the Bible more real than The Lord of the Rings. So should I actively live with the possibility that Sauron is real, or should I just live as if all unknown, unseen things are not real until they are proven by facts and logic to be real? What makes the contemporary religions so special? --- hockeybabe89 <cite>Deutschenlied posted [p:979197880] in Do you bel...
