[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like how the “physics research scientist” never came back to explain how physics led her to believe in god: it isn’t a rational explanation.

Supernatural forces don’t exist in the real world. They exist only in your mind to explain the unknown and fill the gaps.

As we learn more about the universe these gaps will continue to close.

“Supernatural forces don’t exist in the real world.“

Citation?

You lecture everyone on how the world really is but lie and claim to know something no one knows. You are dishonest and lying willfully, why should anyone believe anything you say?[/quote]

It’s not a lie; it’s reality.

If supernatural forces existed, we’d have at least one documented example of them, but we don’t.

Citation?

Why are you claiming that you know something no one else in history to this present day knows?

[/quote]

Everyone who isn’t brainwashed knows this.

You are expressing hard skeptical/anti-religious views, not an established facts.

You frame disagreement as stupidity or manipulation instead of engaging with why people believe differently.

Some people are more susceptible to supernatural beliefs: 
“While supernatural tendencies can be put to good, social use, their primacy in our thinking seems to reflect a deep-rooted human need to understand this mysterious world around us.”

“While this correlational study does not definitively prove how supernatural thinking originated, overall the results most strongly support the psychological perspective.”[/quote]

Yes, none of us were there when the first caveman started worshipping the first “god”. 
[/quote]

Prehistoric humans had some form of spiritual or religious behavior, but we cannot know exactly what they believed or whether they worshipped “a god” in the modern sense.

You again are claiming to know things [i]nobody knows[/i]. [/quote]

There will always be things that no by knows for sure.

We can investigate and come up with reasonable theories [u]without[/u] resorting to explanations involving supernatural forces.

At least though of us who use reason over intuition. 
[/quote]

You can’t investigate the supernatural using science, scientific theories, laboratories, etc. Science has no way to examine, prove or disprove supernatural phenomena. [/quote]
