(11,399 posts)It seems inevitable that a certian contingent among the Human species will always have a need, and see a usefulness for, Faith (as opposed to organised Religion, which is a different animal altogether). Since that is the reality the rest of us face, it may be in our best interest to adapt arguments that embrace the BEST qualities of thier Faith, rather than trying to argue them to a position of faithless-NESS, which I'm not convinced can actually be done.
In that vein, any description of a Godhead that doesn't meet the functional definition of "All-Knowing", isn't REALLY a Godhead, and is therefore incomplete, and the worship of such an incompleteness is considered by many Faith Traditions to be a form of outright Blasphemy.
If your God isn't smart enough to understand that Biology is simply an emergent form of CHEMISTRY, what you're worshiping isn't really God, but rather, an external projection of you OWN lack of understanding.
Just an obsevation, and (I've found) a quite useful one.
Peace, because Dexter is on=)
