and this confirms god? no. this only confirms human existential insecurity, and the emotional need for a greater explanation to sooth the unanswerable. That's all you have.
Since there is no example or physical evidence that any other living thing emotionally needs a greater explanation to sooth the unanswerable, it is reasonable to believe this stems from our ability to spiritually connect. You have not demonstrated otherwise, and you can't.
You keep wanting to point to these things that our spirituality causes, as the reasons for our spirituality, and you literally have to abandon scientific principles to do so.
What nonsense. Much of what was unanswerable, (natural phenomenon), was the cause and motivation for humans to invent various gawds. Fear and superstition was the engine that drove the invention of gawds. And yes, you literally have to abandon scientific principles to believe that Zeus is the capo of a syndicate of other gawds ruling natural events.
Thus, gawd(s), Jinn, devils, the risen from the dead, etc., etc., replete with flying winged men in nightgowns, fat naked babies playing harps, chariots of fire cruising through the clouds, that seas part and books predict the end of the world? All the now thoroughly discredited excuses to commit our logic and reason to be discarded in favor because I say so.
If what you are claiming were true, you could show us other similar examples of this in other upper primates. We find no such example. No other living thing has needed to invent something to explain the unexplained or remedy fear....EVER.... not to ANY degree, not a single solitary instance... Zippo, Zilch, NADDA! But here you are, in spite of science itself, making the claim that humans, the most advanced and intelligent species of all.... just HAD to do this, in order to explain the unexplained and comfort our fears.
Now as you can see, sweetie... I am not refuting you with "because I say so," I am stipulating some very real scientific evidence that you've failed to produce to support your claim. So stop lying to people about my position. You can either refute my argument with scientific evidence, or you can't. If you're going to continue to lie and insist upon an explanation that does not comport with science, I am going to continue to point it out.
