    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Well now you're asking questions. Are you trying to make a point by asking these questions? Or are you trying to learn about the brain? I could answer your questions about the brain, but I feel like that'll just lead to another tangent. I'm willing to bet your own default answer to your...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    You asked me if the brain develops due to external factors. That was my answer. Food, water and air are external factors. I honestly can't tell what you're ever talking about. You say one thing and you mean something else. You see people say one thing and you think they mean something else. And...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    I didn't say anything about a soul. I said the brain doesn't run software. Don't put words in my mouth. Of course the brain has external factors that shape it in the womb. Things like food, oxygen and water are important external factors.

    Calculators don't. I never said that.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    That doesn't really help with anything here.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    First of all, abstract and spiritual aren't synonyms. They aren't even remotely the same thing. Second, there's nothing spiritual about a computer. So why think there's anything spiritual about the brain? Third, the brain is only more advanced in some ways. It's definitely more complex. Even...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Shouldn't be too hard to dispute my reasoning if you find it silly.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Because the brain is fundamentally different from a computer. Software determines the behavior of the computer without physically changing any components of the computer. But a change in behavior of the brain is always accompanied by a structural change in the brain. The brain is constantly...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Software is a set of instructions for a computer to perform certain tasks. We don't have that in our brain.

    They didn't need one. Mankind didn't have one when they became rulers either.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Does it matter where the physical laws came from? It's somewhat of a separate issue. What does software have to do with anything? The brain doesn't run software programs.

    Question for Evolutionist

    It's not just the obvious similar morphological traits. It's stuff like similarities in the genome, most of which doesn't corresponded to any useful trait. E.g. similar junk DNA (useless genes), identical ERV markers, identical mutations like the faulty vitamin-c gene in all apes.

    Intelligence is relative. Every animal has a degree of intelligence.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Not necessarily, and not what I said. What exactly is coincidental about it? We're not the only group of animals that have ever ruled the planet. Others have in the past, and nearly all of them ruled for a much longer time than we did. And by the looks of it, it might stay that way if we end...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Why wouldn't I expect anything? Humans are no different from other animals than other animals are different from each other. We'll we're apes, and we rule the planet.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    There's differences in every species. What's your point?

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    I'm not saying anything should be anything. I'm saying I'd expect a much different Universe if it were made by a benevolent, omnipotent creator. If the Universe is creatorless, however, this is exactly what I'd expect.

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    I've seen it as multiple types of claims I suppose. But my analysis is pretty much always going to be towards those who claim that God is something external and irrespective of people's minds. If you see people like me doing that, you have no reason to be defensive, or annoyed. Because they're...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    Okay, well I actually like this view point of yours and can actually respect it to some degree. But understand, not all theists see it the way you do. Earlier you said you find it annoying and tiresome that people try to scientifically analyse the notion of God. That it shouldn't be because he...

    I'm pretty sure there's no god now

    I mean I got what you were trying to say. I don't think it's a valid point, however. Or analogous. One is a guy with hallucinations and recognition of a mental illness. The other is people believing things with no bases except for emotional comfort. They're just not the same. So we're in...
