Atheists how can you trust your brain if you evolved?

Question

Your brain has not evolved enough because you believe in a human theory.

Answer 1

ATHEIST ARE LIKE THAT FRIEND EVERYONE HAS. THE MR KNOW IT ALL FRIEND.
PRAY FOR THEM. WHEN JESUS COMES BACK THEY ARE GOING TO SHORT CIRCUIT.

Answer 2

I will pretend that your actually asked a question that is not rhetorical....

I do not know how my brain developed, whether dictated by my DNA, evolving over centuries, or influenced by my environment and education. However, I know I can trust my brain because I have constant affirmation of its trustworthiness. It is my brain that stops me stepping out in front of traffic, that tells me when to eat, that has effectively kept me alive to this date. I think by now I can trust it, whether it is the result of evolution or not.

Your assertation that people who do not believe in a God or Gods do not have brains that have evolved far enough is just paraphrasing of "Atheists are stupid". You are welcome to your opinion but I think you can see that insults like this only generate retaliatory insults from those you offend. They do nothing to further your cause.

Answer 3

OK then - a counter-question:

If God created the Universe, including both human brains, and the kinds of understanding that can be contained within them, why did He do so in such a way as to permit doubt in Him?
I'm not asking about Free Will (after all, you could understand God completely, and still decide to reject Him): I'm asking about understanding God.

So, basically, how can you trust God if He has created you in such a flawed manner?

(my answer, obviously, is that God didn't create us - we have evolved with no supernatural input whatsoever)

Answer 4

You know what, if you want a decent arguement, heres one, we only think we've evolved, because we can use tools, build cities excetera. But let me throw this into the pod;

Animals are more evolved then we are, we are the only species that will kill members of own species for no reason, we are the only species that practice necrophilia and zoophilism, a rat will do a lot of gross things, but it will not **** a dead rat or a field mouse. We are the only species that praises objects as being holy, no other species wastes its time doing such, as it just lives and does what it needs to in order to survive. Now let me ask you this, who's more evolved? Oh, did i mention we also practice canibalism just because? Other species will but litterally only as a last resort.

Answer 5

If you're a creationist, how come you are using the term evolution? Shouldn't you *not* believe in evolving species - that *includes* brains?

So you shouldn't be believing in the evolution of brain capacity. Therefore you can't possibly tell ANYONE that their brain has not evolved enough. Regardless of what they believe.

Answer 6

Where do you think your beliefs came from? Guess what before there was ever just ONE god of any name, they were multiple gods! Polytheism has been around and rooted much longer than Monotheism. In fact the first attempts at Monotheism were not only unwelcome, but very very unsuccessful......it tooks thousands of years for any monotheistic religion to take hold! Sounds like evolution of beliefs to me!

So it seems to me that religion has evolved as well..........
But that still doesn't mean your any smarter now than when you first asked this ignorant question!

I never saw or met any one who has seen a divine being come down to say that this is a DIVINE Theory, man puts that title to it! Jesus never wrote any of the books in the bible. In fact most of them were written by MEN who lived at least 50 years after the death of christ, who weren't even around to see the things they are writing about!

Do a little more research next time! It doesn't really bother me when you ask stupid questions like this, but it might be beneficial to you to have some knowledge before making judgements! Good Like with Life pal! Sound like you'll need it!

Answer 7

That question is a good point. If your brain evolves then you may not think the same or may not process thoughts the same way. Your brain may only be able to believe in God.

Answer 8

Theory- conjecture or 'speculation', a body of fundamental or abstract principles underlying an art science, ect.. a proposed explanation..
Webster's dictionary!
I am not stupid enough to trust my eternity on someone else's 'proposed explanation'...There is more truth without 'holes' in the bible than there is in all of there 'theory's'.....but hey it's your lifeless , hopeless, existence go live it....while you can! and when you're done you better hope and pray 'you were right'.......
And yeah- I have studied your theory's ..and found them , how should I say ....lacking.....

Answer 9

Theists, how can you trust your brain if your brain has not evolved enough? I like to trust in what I can see, hear, and touch. Your god does not meet any of these requirements.

Answer 10

A creationist does not have an evolving brain at all. That mentality is still back there with the 'monkeys'.

Answer 11

A man said something nearly 400 years ago on this subject and it's as true today as it was then.

This being granted, I think that in discussions of physical problems we ought to begin not from the authority of scriptural passages but from sense­experiences and necessary demonstrations; for the holy Bible and the phenomena of nature proceed alike from the divine Word the former as the dictate of the Holy Ghost and the latter as the observant executrix of God's commands. It is necessary for the Bible, in order to be accommodated to the understanding of every man, to speak many things which appear to differ from the absolute truth so far as the bare meaning of the words is concerned. But Nature, on the other hand, is inexorable and immutable; she never transgresses the laws imposed upon her, or cares a whit whether her abstruse reasons and methods of operation are understandable to men. For that reason it appears that nothing physical which sense­experience sets before our eyes, or which necessary demonstrations prove to us, ought to be called in question (much less condemned) upon the testimony of biblical passages which may have some different meaning beneath their words. For the Bible is not chained in every expression to conditions as strict as those which govern all physical effects; nor is God any less excellently revealed in Nature's actions than in the sacred statements of the Bible. Perhaps this is what Tertullian meant by these words:

"We conclude that God is known first through Nature, and then again, more particularly, by doctrine, by Nature in His works, and by doctrine in His revealed word."

From this I do not mean to infer that we need not have an extraordinary esteem for the passages of holy Scripture. On the contrary, having arrived at any certainties in physics, we ought to utilize these as the most appropriate aids in the true exposition of the Bible and in the investigation of those meanings which are necessarily contained therein, for these must be concordant with demonstrated truths. I should judge that the authority of the Bible was designed to persuade men of those articles and propositions which, surpassing all human reasoning could not be made credible by science, or by any other means than through the very mouth of the Holy Spirit.
