human capacity to believe is out of the question. the question is whether there is basis, reason, for believing. the question is whether god exists or not -- it is about god. it is not about oneself -- unless one is hopelessly selfish. it's called objectivity.

human capacity to believe, out of the question? then what do you mean by "humans, hard wired for faith," which happened to be the issue here...

I think you haven't read the article.

In fact the title of the thread is WHY humans believe in God.

So maybe we could share something like why we believe in God. And to some who don't, maybe you can ask the question why some people believe in God, and why not you. Is it instinctual? Or is it a product of what I learned? Why are you able to see? Is it because you have learned it? Or is it because anthropologically speaking, you are supposed to be able to see using your eyes. The question is not about whether a certain thing exist. It's about you beeing able to see even if there is nothing to be seen.

So that's it...Are we hard wired for faith? This should be the issue that should have been discussed here. Again, the question at hand is NOT "Can we prove God's existence?" "Or does God exist?"

I don't believe in GOD. I know there is a GOD!

it is given that humans CAN believe, they HAVE the CAPACITY. the issue is WHY they believe. the fact that many humans don't believe in god is enough evidence against biological determinism.

Those who take this at face value didn't get the point of my original post.

Beyond everything you thought that makes life meaningless and pointless is everything that makes it meaningful. Why keep on living? Unless if you have your own interpretation of the above-mentioned, then maybe i misunderstood the sentence.

so do you believe in god? why / why not?

just curious

I do Inday...

Why... It's like answering the question, why live in Cebu? It's because I was born here.

I don't believe in GOD is just like saying I don't believe in Electricity. I know there is elecricity.
No one sees electricity and yet we know there is Electricity. The concept of GOD is like that.

No need to believe in GOD when in fact I know there is a GOD who is the source of ELECTRICITY or ENERGY!
