I've explained the science behind this. Why aren't you satisfied with what science says about this human behavior?Then why do you think most people believe in God?
Okay, I try to do that myself. I don't see Trailblazer as being illogical especially. I have had times myself where we couldn't agree. I don't know about your discussions with her, what was said back and forth. So I have no idea why see each other as illogical.Being an objective thinker isn't about claiming a person doesn't;t have bias, it is about learning skilled thinking and how to set aside bias and examine evidence and claims with the tools of reason and logic. It also helps to have a good working knowledge of science, or at least how to reference credible science sources. This is what makes an objective thinker, looking for facts and truth.
I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior. There is a spiritual component science cannot address.I've explained the science behind this. Why aren't you satisfied with what science says about this human behavior?
If you read the back and forth with numerous atheists you'll see them point out the lack of logic. Making false claims is itself illogical. The vast majority of statements she makes are false claims. Many of these comments seem benign, like referring to what God wants or does or requires, etc. These have to be called out as false and unsubstantiated claims. Theists often try to state their beliefs as if they can smuggle them into a discussion and thus "prove" their God exists by implication.Okay, I try to do that myself.

And this is an excellent example that I can point out to Truthseeker9 as to why your investigation was flawed, incomplete, and biased. You can't find truth by rejecting science when it goes against what you want to believe. If your view of truth has to reject science then it's likely your truth isn't true.I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior.

That is part of what science states, and you just said you reject it.I agree with what Truthseeker9 said, most people believe in the religion they are brought up in or something like it. That is why most people believe in God.
She said science can't explain everything. That definitely is not rejecting science. Who's being flawed in logic? Who's distorting the truth?And this is an excellent example that I can point out to Truthseeker9 as to why your investigation was flawed, incomplete, and biased.

I never said I reject science, you said I reject science, as if you know me better than I know myself. You do not know me, all you know how to do is criticize me. I did not need to get a degree in Masters degree in psychology to know why people do that. You have to somehow discredit me so you can believe that I am wrong about God and my religion. That way you can easily dispense with what I believe and feel confident that you were right after all.And this is an excellent example that I can point out to Truthseeker9 as to why your investigation was flawed, incomplete, and biased.

This is why I advise you to learn and educate yourself on science so you can make better choices and decisions.
She is. She wrote this:She said science can't explain everything. That definitely is not rejecting science. Who's being flawed in logic? Who's distorting the truth?
Look at my previous response. It's apparent you like your religious view, and you like being on this forum, but you work hard to navigate around facts, and can't discern your false beliefs from facts. That's why your arguments and claims fail logically.I never said I reject science, you said I reject science, as if you know me better than I know myself.

Instead of engaging in a reasoned discussion about the actual subject matter at hand you talk about me and everything I am doing wrong. People who are confident can hold their ground in a discussion without having to resort to personal criticism. I have been having a ongoing discussion with another atheist on this forum for months. We disagree about most things we are discussing but he never got personal and told me how I think, how I feel, how I investigated my beliefs or why I believe in God or my religion. That demonstrates a lack of personal boundaries as well as a lack of respect for another person.
But I did not say "I do not believe science." You ripped what I said right out if context because you cannot admit you are wrong about what I said.She is. She wrote this:
"I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior. There is a spiritual component science cannot address."
"I don not believe science" means something. Then it's followed by the false claim "There is a spiritual component". This is irrational. Rejecting science because of a false belief is irrational. Objective thinkers will recognize the false idea of there being a "spiritual component" and examine religious belief and behavior via facts.
Does this clear it up?
What facts? You have no facts, just personal opinions and bald assertions.but you work hard to navigate around facts, and can't discern your false beliefs from facts.
You actually said "I do not believe science...". But I never said science can explain everything. Science is very good at explaining many things, and that includes why people believe in religious concepts. It's irrelevant that you reject this work. It only points to you needing to reject facts and knowledge to justify whatever you believe. That is a serious flaw in your framework.But I did not say "I do not believe science." You ripped what I said right out if context because you cannot admit you are wrong about what I said.
I said "I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior." It is completely ludicrous to think that science can explain everything about human behavior because scientists do not even make any such claims!
We observe believers believing in gods. We ask many of the believers why they believe. Some claim they have evidence, but this evidence is never adequate for an objective claim. Some claim faith. In any event there is never a set of facts that support a belief that any god exists. There's no argument that is compelling or convincing to conclude any god exists. If there were facts that a god exists theists would be copying and repeating this evidence ad nausium all over these debate boards. There is no such pattern.Please present the scientific research that states that the only reason people believe in God is for the reasons you claim they do. Otherwise it is just a personal opinion, a bald assertion.
Right after I prove Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy don't exist.That there is a spiritual component to human behavior is not false unless you can prove it is false. Can you?
Above you said you reject the science that explains religious behavior. Again you are in denial here.I do not reject science and I do not have a false belief unless you can prove it is false.
Apparently it's clear you are confused.Does this clear it up?
No, I did not say "I do not believe science." You ripped what I said right out if context because you cannot admit you are wrong about what I said.You actually said "I do not believe science...".
No, that is not what I said. I said "I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior."Above you said you reject the science that explains religious behavior. Again you are in denial here.
We all read what you wrote. Science can explain religious behavior. Do you accept that? Yes or no?NO, I did not say "I do not believe science." You ripped what I said right out if context because you cannot admit you are wrong about what I said.
I said "I do not believe science can explain why people believe in God since science cannot explain everything about human behavior."
I never said that science cannot explain ANY human behavior. I am not an idiot.
Science can explain some of the reasons for religious behavior, but science cannot explain all of the reasons for religious behavior. That means there are some reasons that science cannot explain.Science can explain religious behavior. Do you accept that? Yes or no?
Science can explain some of the reasons for religious behavior, but science cannot explain all of the reasons for religious behavior.
Give examples.That means there are some reasons that science cannot explain
all or nothing fallacy.
Not applicable or relevant.Definition: When an inference is made based on two options (many times extreme) are given as if they were the only ones when other options exist (which are many times more probable than the two presented), then the resulting error in reasoning is known as the all or nothing fallacy.
Accident, ad hominem, all or nothing, equivocation and ...
1. Science cannot explain the Spiritual Reasons why people believe in God.What reasons are outstanding and exempt from what science can explain?
1. Spiritual Reasons = Being guided by God.Give examples.
I did not evade answering, I answered. I said: Science can explain some of the reasons for religious behavior, but science cannot explain all of the reasons for religious behavior. That means there are some reasons that science cannot explain.I asked you if you accept explanations in science. Science self-corrects and follows facts. It's a simple and fair question that I ask if you respect the findings in science or not. You're evading answering for a reason.
