The Truth is that Truth Lies
The narrator in this video speaks of human beings having a mandatory intuition to create God even if he doesn't exist. This particular statement stood out to me because it was addressed in the first lecture as well. Here it is presented as an idea by Voltaire, but in the lecture, it is stated as a scientific fact that there is something in our brains that makes us create religion.
Maybe that same thing in our brains that makes us create religion, is the same thing that makes Dr. Edward Wilson of Harvard feel so good about being good. That may be where we are hard wired to do good acts. They could be the same thing manifesting themselves in different ways. This is not me questioning my faith, I still stand by Jesus Christ and God, this is merely me acknowledging that there may be another side to this story. It is a very interesting thing to possibly look into.
About Me
- gcubed
- To describe oneself in such a small amount of space is like trying to define love. It cannot be contained to a limited number of characters. To get to know someone can take 500 years, and can never be contained to 500 characters. So if you want to try and get to know me then go ahead, I'm always willing to welcome new people into my life. As for summing myself up in a paragraph, I like to think I am not so describable.
