| Kasz216 said: That arguement seems a bit specious. To a lot of religious faiths the presense of god is in of itself a sense. As such it would be like trying to explain vision to a blind person... even scientifically it'd be hard to get. Some people have infact suggested that such a percetion, whether there is a god or not is tied to the temporal lobes. Whether it is a sense of a higher consiousness, a sense of something else we currently can't understand or simply a hallucinary feeling is unknown.

Hmm... so, "god exists because some people feel it to be true"?
Can we also suppose that atheists have a "sense" like vision, that leads them to their conclusions? If so, then how can we tell between those who "sense god" and those who "sense no god"? Which is right about the universe?
I suspect it would lead right back to the normal forms of empirical evidence.
And besides, assuming that this magical sixth sense (or would it be a seventh sense? I guess depends on one's other metaphysical beliefs) exists, surely there are some who feel it in various religions.
So, using that sense, can we tell if we should be worshipping Yahweh, Zeus or fill-in-the-blank deity?
