Three men are walking through the woods, when the first comments on how smooth the ground is, and how nice it is to walk on. The second one tells him that his grandfather told him stories about how aliens came along in ancient times and they’re spaceships made the ground flatter. The third one than calls him foolish, saying that his own father told him stories of thousands of intelligent rabbits who went to work making the path smooth.
The first man chuckles at the other two’s stories.

“Why are you laughing?” says the second one. “What’s YOUR reason for why this trail is smooth?” The first one admitted that he didn’t know, but enjoyed it nonetheless. “Well, if you don’t know, then my story must be right!” exclaims the third traveler. “No, MY story must be right, because it was told by my grandfather, who was here much longer before your father!” says the second. “Are you joking? There are obviously rabbits in the world, so MINE must be right!” replies the third.
The first traveler walks ahead to avoid their arguing and just enjoy the trail, while the other two get so angered at eachother that they end up killing eachother over who’s story is right. .
The End.

» Debates with believers

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Over the past few weeks I have been discussing faith, God, creationism, the scientific method, evolution, and the Bible with a few friends on Facebook. Sometimes it feels like it would be more fun to stab myself in the thigh with a fork, but I have learnt some new things in the process.

Many of the same old tired arguments come up which have been addressed by thousands before me, but occasionally I see something new which forces me to research the topic, and I think that’s one of the fundamental differences. I have a genuine thirst for knowledge. On my days off I will read philosophy books, uncover the methods of encryption used during wartime, read about DNA, marvel at advances in astronomy, watch nature shows on Discovery, or just get online and take part in various discussion forums. I feel that many theists are not interested in the world in the same way.

Once a person is convinced that there is an afterlife and an all powerful, all loving God will punish you forever if you do not follow his list of things to do and don’t, then all that really matters is trying to stick to the rules - anything else is a distraction that may knock you off the narrow, winding path to eternal bliss. It’s no wonder that many feel immortally threatened when the foundations of theor faith as questioned.

Well, it’s not so much that the foundations are questioned, but the vague realisation that they really do not have the answers. Admitting something like the big bang is true, or evolution really does occur means the Bible (and many other “holy” books) is literally wrong. If one part is wrong, then it is not the perfect word of God and the house house of cards comes tumbling down. In their mind either the Bible is 100% correct, or it is not.

This kind of atomic thinking make it impossible for them to see that questioning one part of a theory does not falsify it in its entirety. I think that’s one of the key differences. Rational thinkers allows themselves the possibility of being wrong - it makes no difference to them. By being proved wrong we gain a deeper insight into the true nature of reality.

Theists cannot allow themselves to be wrong since there immortal souls are on the line. Who would risk an eternity in paradise? Fundamentalists take it one step further and do not allow the text of their chosen “holy” book to the wrong in any way. There is no room for interpretation of what the book of God says, unless of course it is allegory, symbolic, or a parable.

Just for the record:

If god is all powerful, he more than easily could have let people into heaven without having to sacrifice his own son.

If he was all knowing, he wouldn’t have had to make a second draft of the teachings from the old testament.

If he was all loving, he wouldn’t send people to burn in a fiery lake of unfathomable suffering for all of eternity, just because they were born in a society that worshiped a different god.
