Default Re: The Better Intelligence-Religion Correlation

You can do a better job of attacking my position than mentioning unicorns. By the very nature of unicorns, we should expect there to be some sort of evidence of their existence if they were to exist. If they exist, presumably they are physical beings that, in existing, alter the world around them in some observable manner. However, many that believe in God believe that he does not interact with the world in a way that can be observed, thus not leaving evidence.

If you wanted to attack my position with unicorns, you probably should have mentioned the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Now the IPU would not, even if it existed, interact with the world in an observable manner, so we shouldn't expect any evidence of its existence either. Believing in the IPU would not then be "illogical" any more than it would be "logical."

It would certainly be illogical. And even general unicorns are very difficult to observe. You should do more reading about unicorns before you post about them since your ignorance of unicornism is showing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But yes, it is clearly wrong to believe in IPU because there are an INFINITE number of things, like invisible BLUE unicorns, and you simply cannot believe in them all. And they are all equally legitimate. So it is illogical to believe in some and not others.
