How well do you perceive?

in psychology •  8 years ago 

Hi, that's very interesting. As I read your post I was wondering what difference God's existence makes. Is God necessary in the process of building or reshaping ones world view? Is it even possible to form a coherent worldview without the trancending God? Is man even able to take a neutral stand regarding God's existence or does he suppress the truth?

"God" is a fill-in-the-gaps of comprehension concept. Trying to make sense of things? Missing some info? Then here's the answer! "God" explains why this is this, or that is that! Don't need to figure out what is going on really, just believe whatever one wants and justify it through "God" as an answer-all to fill-the-gap in comprehension.

I'm familiar with this atheists standard notion. It is just an assertion. Even if we would be able to explain the whole universe it would not explain away God. Just because one can explain the whole car in terms of mechanics it doesn't follow that he has explained away Henry Ford. That's an error in reasoning and, as I believe, a display of the suppression of truth as I mentioned.
Indeed, God is the necessary foundation of all knowledge and explanations. Without him there is no basis for truth, knowledge, logic, morals or uniformity of nature. What is your ground for these without God, that is to say in a universe made up only of physical entities?
