Deep Sight:
Can any one quess why I find this picture telling and interesting?

Deep Sight: ^ Why una dey fall my hand na?

ooman: the child needs to wake up, she lives in a world where 95% of its humans are dumb believers in a god who make them murderers and iddiots.

Pastor Kun: @Deepsight

I guess you are trying to say humans create their image of God based on an innate need for a god.

What is the difference between the cravings for narcotics? and the cravings for god?

plaetton:

By the same token we can assert that humans get easily addicted to opioids and other narcotics and hallucinagens because humans have an innate need for.........?
Illusions of wellbeing , grandeur, mental clarity and control?
Do you agree?

doubleDx: @OP Sir,

The girl in question has the knowledge that a kid is supposed to have a Mother. She might have seen other kids with their Mothers/Parents, no? This is certainly not the same as creating an imaginary god in our minds just because we do not have and feel there is need for one.

The girl's case is different, she doesn't have a Mother and felt there is need for one because she knew kids are supposed to have Mothers. Just my opinion!

Nice picture, BTW! This thread is a the front page material...

wiegraf: Staged
Regardless, but staged

bolaino: I never thought you and I could see eye to eye on any issue, but I agree with you on this, @op, that's staged, it's very obvious, and yes, man has an innate feeling that there's something bigger than him, and he has been trying to understand this feeling but has not succeeded, and I doubt if science can be able to explain unravel this mysterious "feeling"

Deep Sight:

That's the same way Humans have a conscious experience that everything finite has a cause and origin. This is exactly why the generality of Humans per force believe that they have a cause and origin, in spirit, mind, and thought, no?

But ofcourse, look at the infinite universe and see how tiny and insignificant we are in the grand scheme. That is what drives us, to understand our place or role in an infinite universe that does not give a rat's bottom whether we exist or not.
It's not about god. Its about trying to validate and justify our existence in an impersonal universe.
The creation of god is a temporary fix to assuage our fears and anxieties till we know more about the universe and how it works.
The more we know about the universe, the less our reliance on this temporary mental construct that we call god.
This has been self evident over the past 200yrs .

wiegraf:

I'm an a$$, not stoopid. And don't take my antics personally.

Look up the antrophic principle if you haven't before, somewhat related

bolaino: the anthrophic principle is very interesting, but it's vague and that makes it not credible, there's no proof for it, and the theory is just made up of speculation and conjecture, and the theory supports the theists concept of a creator, everything is right for life on earth cos it was specifically created for life by a creator, in essence the anthrophic principle is a principle that's theists can use to support their claim of an intelligent designer.

wiegraf:

I don't think you quite get it. And it isn't a scientific theory per se, but it's solid reasoning. It's a bit similar to a thread @kay has atm dealing with his case against the existence of god.

For starters, imagine if there were no conscious life in this universe, and no other universe with any conscious life could interact, in any way, with it. Could you now say this universe exists?

bolaino: lol, well, in that case sir, I will agree that the universe does not exist,

wiegraf:

Don't call me sir, what have I done to deserve respect? And nice steven weinberg.

Anyways, so a basic prerequisite is that for a universe to exist, there must be conscious life to acknowledge it, yes?

bolaino: yes I agree with you, the universe exists cos we exist,

wiegraf:

Eventually we even come to wave's collapsing. It's mind boggling I tell ya'

Anyways, it's rather easy to see why a sentient species might assume this unbelievably gargantuan universe was custom made very specially just for them.

Well, in many ways it isn't, but you get the point.

Anyways, kudos good ser.
