Re: Which came first? God or the Egg?
Its odd to me how we humans on this dustspeck of a blip in the known universe can have the audacity to attempt to explain a theory of everything and yet so grandly dismiss God as an illogical concept!
The flaw might be in us, if the intellectual giants insist that God is nothing more than an anthropomorphic absurdity by means of reductio absurdum.
People such as Dawkins, do. But there are also intellectual giants who do give God a chance, such as Einstein. (Albeit a none-personal, very intellectual version of God).
Yet you are correct, logically, when you mention this, because it is arrogant to dismiss a possibility. No true intellectual giant would do this.
As far as I'm concerned it's just a matter of personality. One side has the parsimonious razor ensconsed upon their psyche, while the other side are lazy thinkers.
The former cannot possibly understand how the latter group could be correct because they themselves are stone cold intellects, and think that God is simply a highly silly idea whom is woefully primitive, because afterall, the idea came from the latter group of lazy thinkers.
I wish I could be either a lazy thinker who has an admiral trait and freedom to rest one's mind or a stone cold intellect who is a parsimonious vacuum in the lake of Spock. Unfortunately, I am a bit of both.
Yet fortunately for you and I phatboy, we both seem to content ourselves concluding anything while still letting God reside in our own minds.
