Funeral for the Idea of God…
We have seen that there is no fingerprint of God anywhere; plus, theists/deists have not shown that there is any fingerprint whatsoever. It really doesn’t go anywhere for someone to just hope that there might be a fingerprint or that there will be one. Where is it then? Hopes and wishes are not facts.
No Moon God; no Mt. Olympus Gods; no Sun God; and now no Universe God. This is not terrible in itself; it’s just that we search for the truth on SciForum. Truth is what can ultimately help the human race, not myth or fiction.
The thing, though, about the theists saying there should be fingerprints of evidence all over, completely verifies the approach of the disproof of God that finds none. Note that only one fingerprint would show God; one measly one, that’s all, but, still, there are none!
It is really that humanity is fine-tuned to the Earth and its part of the universe—evolution has shown us that. The IDers of the past have been confined to looking for gaps, but now the gaps close, to squeeze them out of their last refuge. Behe, for example, just put out the same content in a semi-recent book, stuff was already discredited in his previous book, he not even including the new facts thereafter. To see one glorious mishap of his a while back, google Dover, creationism, court trial (Delaware).
In dealing with God, there can be nothing visual or even sensual, but the whole is still wished for in the mind, as well should be the implicated details, but only if they allow them to have a place, for it is very easy to neglect those. Some might just remain at a level of “all is one”, forever placing themselves far away from any details, even to the point of not being able to consider them. That is the right side of the brain speaking. Furthermore, the mind, in the case of the imagination of the idea of God, contains no real and actual details to guide it for any armchair analysis, yet, more spiritual structures are even layered upon the first fabrication.
To be complete in examining a concept, the brain must be able to think both scientifically and holistically, although these views may not present themselves at the exact same time; one needs to juggle them, perhaps, if the holistic is dominating; but, just remember that one is already one step lost when one even begins to imagine invisible things.
One problem with all Designer arguments is their failure to account for the nature and prior existence of the Designer. Under what set of physical laws did God operate before he made the universe, and where did those laws come from? We are left in the same Ark as before, and so we cannot just have the right brain exempt God from these very real concerns.
If he was intelligent to enough to engage in large-scale cosmic engineering, by what means did he evolve that intelligence’ except, that He’s supposed to be fundamental? How did he know that the system of natural laws he chose before the Big Bang would inevitably lead to thinking creatures like ourselves? And why did it take so long if the answer is that he is all powerful? And if he existed before time, then how did he act and plan and make ready for the time of Genesis, said to be an experiment. As if he doesn’t really know all in advance? It would even take time to invent ‘time’, so, that did not happen. One simply cannot just have a great system of mind being responsible, without allowing that all systems must have components beneath, for their operations of thinking, feeling, and doing; however, emotion doesn’t care, for how can it, since it only knows itself.
Using only a piece of mind will bring only an illusional peace of mind, which again, is fine, except when proclaiming truth from it, for then it is a big no-no, being a very large deception of a piece of the mind.
