Take a Memo:
Wishful thinking eliviates the stress of not knowing what happens when we die. We still don't know how we got here so the God hypothesis hasn't gone away. Plus we are such a new species. Give it time.Well no it's not and you haven't proven that with any evidence.
If, as you claim, we are "distressed about death" and we have superior intellect.... things with less superior intellect should be even more distressed because they would understand it even less. But we don't see apes and chimps having nervous breakdowns because they know they will die one day. Your hypothesis is without support.
It's also not "wishful thinking" or it wouldn't exist in a creature of our superior intellect. What fundamental purpose does a wishful thought serve? If there were no intrinsic value we would have discarded the behavior as useless. Any living organism we have ever studied has behavioral attributes for a reason. Trivial and meaningless behavior doesn't exist as a fundamental attribute of anything. So now, this hypothesis of yours, which you've failed to support with logic or science, actually contradicts what we observe in nature.
My gosh, please tell me you aren't really this dumb and brainwashed. I have to leave this thread before I start being mean. Lol.
You're too late, you've already been mean and insulting to me. I've not been like that to you. I've addressed your points with logic, science ans reasoning. I've demonstrated how your hypothesis fails and it pissed you off so you became hostile and insulting. It's too late to take that back now.
Well, that's why I've been trying to avoid you. I think you're basically a nice person, but a confused person. I don't really want to be mean to you, but you annoy the crap out of me. Lol.
I'm sorry you're annoyed by me refuting your arguments with logic and science.
And lesser animals aren't smart enough to imagine a God but a more evolved species would recognize God is an invention we made up.
You are proof we haven't God superior intellect. Seems more like ignorant arrogance to me.
Let's say humans have been here for 1 million years. Dinosaurs and trilobites were here for billions of years before us. God didn't care about their souls but he cares about ours? Nonsense
This post is so full of ignorance, stupidity and speculation that I don't even know how to address it all. Part of it has already been addressed, ad nauseum. We didn't "invent" a meaningless behavioral attribute which is intrinsic to our species... that simply flies in the face of nature and makes NO logical sense. And where the hell do you get off telling us how a more evolved species would think? You haven't even evolved to a functional human yet... you're still like the monkeys, clueless about your spirituality.
