Poking Holes In Naturalism. Is Man A Rational Being? by Joshthefirst(m): 9:20pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
IS MAN RATIONAL? The evolutionary biologist, argues that mans moral reasoning is only as a result of in built mind mechanisms and social adaptations meant to further the survival and reproduction of the human species, i.e our reasoning in the end is NOT to arrive at any objective truth. Although most atheists on this forum will agree to this thinking, and have even recently alluded to it in one of my recent topics on the nature of morality (cc Hahn, LordReed, budaatum, JeromeBlack, etc), it is ultimately flawed, and completely so. The only way to explain rationality in the universe is if a rational God put it in. |

Only way? When you can't even show the existence of this god? What a joke. |

The Irony is that these naturalists and evolutionary biologists exclude themselves from blind moral reasoning and in-built survival thinking when arriving at what they consider to be the "truth" that man isn’t rational. Unfortunate. Edited. |

hahn:I bin Dey wait for you to come nau. And it’s because the naturalist somehow excludes his reasoning when he makes the conclusion on rationality. That is, human beings and human moral reasoning are not really rational, except when I’m making this conclusion on the nature of human reasoning. Edited |

Joshthefirst: So what are they if not rational? |

hahn:My point is that you cannot conclude that human reasoning is not rational but geared towards survival and reproduction, and exclude the very reasoning that had you arrive at that very conclusion. |

LordReed:I was going to ask the same thing, my Lord! It sounded irrational to me. Joshthefirst, could you post a definition of "Rational" please, so we know you know what you talk about. 1 Like |

Joshthefirst:Apaet from your claim that God makes humans rational, no, I don't understand what you are saying. God gives humans arms and legs, I can understand, since just about all humans have arms and legs, but that God gives humans rational, I can't accept for the simple fact that not all humans are rational. You make me want to ask, what criteria do you think God uses in distributing rationalism to the humans God gives it to, in your opinion? |
