So basically God of the Gaps ("We don't understand something, therefore God"). Your "checkmate" against atheists is some intellectually lazy argument that's already been refuted countless times. Gotcha. And what is the term for defaulting to 'brain chemicals' to fill in gaps? Sometimes the only honest answer is "WE DON'T KNOW". Just because you don't know the answer to a question doesn't mean you get to invent the perfect explanation to satisfy all conditions without any evidence for it. Even if science completely disproves "brain chemicals" and everything they thought they knew about the brain...that still doesn't prove that "it was god" is the answer. You still have to have evidence for any explanation you want to pin consciousness to. Poking holes in your limited understanding of science does not get you any closer to the answer you are trying to get to. And it does nothing to convince a skeptic that your answer is more reasonable than "brain chemicals". You know what the difference is between brain chemicals and God? Brain chemicals can be demonstrated to actually exist, and God can't. So if it's not brain chemicals, then the answer is "we don't know, and still have no reason to believe it's a god". Are brain chemicals responsible for consciousness? Maybe they are; maybe not. Maybe science can't explain consciousness...YET. But that doesn't mean that religion can. Religion can't really "explain" anything. |
