Pris,
Certain cells react to certain stimuli in the mice they studied and the conclusion is that the mice have anxiety cells. What do mice have to be anxious about? It would certainly be interesting to understand how they interpreted that the mice were anxious. It sounds so tabloid…
You think that finding anxiety cells in mice gives you the grounds to speculate about the nature of the mental and physical relationship of religious efficacy in people? That is a huge leap.
That is a put-down, as if theists and agnostics aren’t qualified to refute your argument(s), because their views limit their scope. Why submit your arguments where you know they are only going to be disagreed with? If you don’t believe in the intellectual ability of the forum users, why bother? Why not just keep your arguments to yourself? If you were to subject yourself to the same type of “psychoanalysis” you do others, what would you say about that kind of behaviour I wonder? IMV, the refutations of your arguments are not based upon people’s beliefs or biases. It is patently the logic of your argument that has been dissected and refuted. Yet you continue to claim that you’ve proven something.
I never said you agreed, you don’t have to. You’re submitting philosophical arguments to a group of people who enjoy philosophy (you included) and discussing them with us, hence we are your “peers” just not in the strictest or formal sense. The consensus is that the substance of your argument(s) is flawed as are your justifications. You don’t have to agree, but you can’t keep claiming that you’ve proven something on a forum where the consensus is that you’re wrong and haven’t proven anything. It only makes you seem silly and adamant.
I think Ierrellus’ list was based upon a collation of what you’ve argued. Maybe I’ll attempt to complete the task you ask later.
Note, As I think Serendipper eludes to, people are fallible. Therefore being wrong about things is a normal part of being human. I think It is normal, healthy and a sign of intelligence to be able to see where we are / went wrong and to admit to our mistakes, it shows good reflective skills. On the other hand, clinging to the impossible position of being right when it is clear that we are wrong will stop us from progressing and makes us seem immature. We can learn a lot from our mistakes, so being right is not as important as you seem to think it is - it is not making you seem more intelligent or capable, quite the opposite. IMV, no one can reflect upon things and conclude that they haven’t made any mistakes.
