"Are you saying that we have scientific reasons to consider that a creator made our universe? If so, I'll not look the other way. I'm not ignorant." There certainly is no emperical evidence for a grand Creator. I was building a theology of the soul on the fact that we have no (really nothing) understanding of consciousness, and a good model for explaining it exists already. You see, certain classes of learned men aren't so interested in emperic proof. I give you a striking example - mathematicians. They don't want to measure anything. Sure, the have something called a "formal proof", but overall they are obsessed with the self-consistency of a particular set of truths. I aimed to show that there are theologies that are in-depth, advanced, ancient and have also been accepted by western intellectual giants as being thoroughly significant. I can gather from your writing ethos that you're not arrogant or ignorant. |
Well, generally I do demand empirical evidence when it comes to my beliefs. But if something seems logical only through a non-empirical perspective I neither can nor should blame anyone (including myself) for believing that it is true. And ignoring your actual beliefs (i.e. living in denial) is certainly not a good thing.
I'll have to look up more about these non-empirical explanations of the consciousness. Seems interesting indeed.
