    With science "we don't know" is not an end point, it is temporary because science is constantly investigating to answer questions. Placing a god in gap where we currently don't have an answer is an end point for religion!

    • @TheSoulProponent
      @TheSoulProponent 10 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the feedback. That’s one way to see it but I don’t. Spirituality is on-going because truth never ends. Science is trying to get to an end which is to find answers. That causes attachments and fixations. Spirituality is about letting go of such attachments and fixations. Science can help but we need to account for unconscious subjectivity such as the motivation for science in the first place. Why is it good to look for answers? Is that objective? What is the reason we use science to look for truth? And also science is based on concepts and ideas that only exist in our minds like time, logic, reason, laws, human rights, morals, values, and identity.

I don't see science as trying to get to an end, the whole notice of "I don't know" will always be and that is the driving force behind science and even when science come to an answer that is sufficient the community tries to push even further. Now from my perspective religion is comes with attachments, fixations, and end results in the form of god/jesus. If you ask most christians how the universe came to be most will answer with god. If you ask most christians how life began they will answer with the creation story. If you ask most christians what happens when we die they will answer with some here after of some sort. Those are examples of end logic, and fixation and the whole jesus will save us is very much an attachment. I think that science was produced out of curiosity to answer question that we felt that religion didn't answer.

What we need to do is examine why we are trying to find answers in the first place whether through science or religion. What matters is our attitude towards the search. If we’re coming from attachments and fixations and the need to find pleasure and avoid pain then the truth will not set us free. Science doesn’t address this much. It doesn’t account for the unconscious subjective filters of the identity such as belief in time. Time is something that doesn’t actually exist in reality. It’s just a concept.

      @TheSoulProponent "do you admit one of qualities of god us mystery and the existence of the unknown?" I have no idea what it means for the quality of something to be the "existence of the unknown." Likewise, mystery is simply an absence of knowledge. It is ignorance. If you want to define your god as human ignorance, I fully agree. "Why isn't that evidence that there is a source of that mystery and the unknown?" First you defined your god as having the quality of mystery and the unknown. Now you want to define it as the source of mystery and the unknown. Your level of consistency could not even survive one sentence. Amazing. "But there is a possiblity." You have not at all shown that your god is even possibly the source of anything.

    2:08 One of the main skills in rational thinking is to detect logical fallacies, such as the false dichotomy of a universe from nothing or an eternal universe. Other options, including options that do not involve a god, are available to consider. Another key component of rational thought is to recognize that sometimes there simply is not sufficent data to draw a conclusion. Remember, you are citing deductive reasoning, which means you need to have sufficient evidence to make the premises sound. Of you were using modal logic instead of deductive, then you can lean towards a "more probable" or "seems more likely." But you didn't invoke modal logic. You invoked deduction, which has stricter criteria. So, the atheist, by stating they don't know, are actually following deductive reasoning instead of abandoning it. This is not a matter of a convenient or inconvenient answer. They just are not falling for your false dichotomy.

    If you are suggesting that soul equal cognitive capacities, then I will agree that there is some merit to your commentary. If one thinks about various details one ideally (I say ideally, since, I recognize there are many who have cognitive issues) will recognize there are issues with various claims such as theological notions. If an ideological notion encompasses everything that we think we know to be factual, then one can easily accept an ideological notion as being the case even if such isn't. This is why when a dissenter says anything one must review what the dissenter presents just to check to see whether the ideological tapestry accepted is in fact erred beyond our initial knowing of such issues.
