Science shows that religious beliefs, such as belief in God, arised from nothing more than remnants from our evolutionary past. Because of evolution, we have a disposition toward teleological thinking and mentalizing. Evolution caused us to think in terms of purposes, so if we have psychological disposition to think in purposes it makes sense that we believe in a creator. Mentalizing is the projecting of emotions and mental states on to others. Since we have a disposition to do this, we tend to think of God in anthropomorphic terms — God wants, God doesn't like, God listens to your prayers, etc. Studies also show that people with these dispositions in lesser degrees, such as autistic people, are less likely to believe in God.

(CHRISTIAN) BELIEF, AND SCIENCE; FAITH, AND REASON, ARE MUTUALLY COMPLEMENTARY, NOT MUTUALLY ANTITHETICAL, BUT THOSE WHO LACK EITHER OF THESE —OR BOTH— WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLEMENTATION.

>if a God existed, He wouldn't make religiosity evolutionarily favorable, He would make religiosity something that fundamentally goes against our nature and something that is like asking a square peg to fit into a round hole

>Because of evolution, we have a disposition toward teleological thinking and mentalizing
We're not that good at it. I guess we need an AI to calculate all of the consequences of our actions so we can truly be HUMANE and ETHICAL. I guess those theists with their domineering God were right after all! In truth, we're not deontological or teleological creatures, we use either as the situation demands.

>Evolution caused us to think in terms of purposes, so if we have psychological disposition to think in purposes it makes sense that we believe in a creator
Wow, I guess we don't need to believe in a purpose because it's just evolutionary anyways! What's the point, again? What's the purpose of making this post?

> Since we have a disposition to do this, we tend to think of God in anthropomorphic terms
I'm sure that doesn't encroach on his transcendental nature, it's just our way of understanding or conceptualizing him.

>Studies also show that people with these dispositions in lesser degrees, such as autistic people, are less likely to believe in God
No wonder so many philosophers are atheists. Make autism Christian again

It was a refutation of Epicurus' argument about God and muh evil and all that. It's basically from Boethius- if God is omnipotent and can do no evil, then there is no evil, annulling that dualist view of good and evil.

huh no, science is just a narrative like any other and it is not proven at all it investigates anything

This is because formalized science is based on logicized maths, hyped as ''the language of the universe'' by posci addicts lol

and logicized maths is based on logic

all mathematicians are logic babies addicted to ZFC and they are all platonist, ie ''numbers are real bro not social construct''.

By the way truth is not found in logic. Logic is just a field by autistic pedants about well formed formulas and valuations, ie sending a formula to 1 or 0 and asking what are those valuations which are stable under inference rules. Zero truth in this, especially truth in the casual sense. Tarski truth is moronic, meaningless. Peak atheist.
Just like there is no truth in science, just some stats and a stat convention for saying ''if p value is XXX then the result is''true''''

This is why science is shit for politics and even for daily life.
At best scientists can come up about some stats about some formal system. Like ''this material has such and wear and tear, therefore our backlog of such conditons lead to 60% of breaking in the next year''
That's the pinnacle of the scientific claim and all their claims remain phrased as uncertainty.
