Inductive Atheism
This is a thread is derived from the RAZD Vs Bluegenes the bluegenes Challenge (bluegenes and RAZD only)Great Debate[/bgcolor] the bluegenes Challenge and the extensive Peanut Gallery coverage of that debate. If (as seems to be the case) there remains appetite for ongoing comment and wider participation on this ever present issue perhaps this a better place for it than the peanut gallery?
The only known source of supernatural concepts is the human imagination. Scientific inductive reasoning thus leads to the tentative theory that ALL supernatural concepts are derived from human imagination. This theory can be falsified by presenting another source of such concepts. Either the existence of such an entity or a supernatural concept derived from a non-human source. This theory predicts that where the source of any specific supernatural concept becomes known that source will turn out to be human imagination. This theory is not weakened by assertions that unevidenced sources might exist (anymore than evolutionary theory is weakened by last Thursdayism)
Discuss.
