I would argue that we are giving ourselves too much credit.
Hi Phat,
I think the opposite, look at all the wondrous things man has accomplished, yet there are those out there that want to give credit to aliens, god...ect. Is it so hard to imagine we built the pyramids, went from the Wright brothers first flight to the moon in less than 67 years, without help?
Humans did all that and so much more on our own, some may have been inspired by the thoughts of god, Sistine chapel for example, but I see no difference between inspiration from god and inspiration from nature. We humans can be inspired by so many things, including but not limited to god.
To think that god is responsible for all the wondrous things we have done is selling us, and him short. If you believe in god, wouldn't you think he would have gave us the ability to think and create on our own? Would this not be limiting yourself philosophically to think he is the only reason we are so great in many ways? I would rather think he would be proud of all the good things we have done, and saddened by all the bad.
