Quote by: Lullaby Chainer  I believe E equals mc squared. Do I understand why? Nope. However, I have faith that physicists understand it fully.
Theists believe their god exists. Do they understand it? Nope. However, religious leaders don't understand it either, apparently.
Yet, theists try to get us to believe that this thing they don't even understand is the answer to everything.
Is this a pro or con of religion?
Is it reason to doubt religion?
Is it reason to trust religion? |
I don't think that your argument sets a level playing field between religious and non-religious people. I think perhaps the big bang or unified field theory would surely be analogous to the natue of God.
And of course the funny is you have admitted to essentially being a religious or faith based person. You believe in science but dont understand it, you merely have faith that someone else does so you delegate your thinking on the matter to them.
That is in principle the exact same thing as the illiterate medieval peasent believing in religious concepts he does not understand because the priest told him.
