Ok so I understand there must have been a force of pure actuality to transform the universe from potentiality to actuality but why does it have to be intelligent? Why couldn’t it be an abnormality?
So our intelligence is an anomaly of unintelligent stuff? That is what atheists think. Intelligence is, what do the call it? An emergent property of matter. I don’t think so. Intelligence seems to come from intelligence in all other observations.
I mean it’s not the strongest argument but maybe advanced intellectual ability added to the survivabillity of the individual which led to more breeding of that trait? I don’t know what causes intellect or consciousness but obviously animals are close. My dog makes rational decisions lol. Dummy always does what he wants.
Not really. It’s still our main source for Jesus. At best, it’s true that his prophecy that Jerusalem’s Temple would be destroyed came true. The horror of that incident can be found in Josephus, but he had nothing to do with Christians.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say that so aggressively I’m learning and hoping that this life isn’t all there is and truly struggling I didn’t mean anything personal!
