How your brain creates God? (Evos try to reduce God to natural by-product of how brain works)

OK, then I suppose the next question would be when did we get the canines. According to the last article, we had always been vegetarians and we should go back to that. So, did our ancestors have canines or is this Doctor who wrote this article all wet?

Also, what about our digestive system. The Doc in the last article I read doesn't seem to think that we should eat meat because our track can't handle it. And our body can develop disease from it. I don't believe all that. I had gizzards tonight, just in case one might ask about my diet. I am a firm believer that there is room for all God's creatures, right next to my mashed taters.

Let me get this straight... evolution created a brain to believe in God because that ensured the survival of the fitest, but there is no God? And the big bang created everything from nothing, but there is no God? My head hurts. Does science have a golden idol I can worship?

I wouldn't say he is entirely all wet. He may have provided some useful information.

Did we always have canines? Yes, we did. They slept near the mouth of the cave.

IMHO, I would say that our intestines, stomach acid, saliva, and heart would evolve to accept meat after years of eating it. Maybe smaller portions is the key. But still, if there was evolution, I think our heart would eventually develop a mechanism to accept more red meat. Just my opinion.

Funny you should ask:

"But still, if there was evolution, I think our heart would eventually develop a mechanism to accept more red meat. Just my opinion."

Our bodies, and our hearts, are probably as "evolved" as they need to be for the digestion of meat.

The scenario is this; "With two yoke of oxen, and one spotted hog, a tall Shanghai rooster and an old yeller dog". -- Why the animals?

Because where Sweet Betsy was going, they needed animals and animal products just to survive.

We are more fortunate now. We may, if we choose, eschew the eating of meat altogether. Our dietary variation in most cultures is sufficient to let us remain healthy anyway if we are careful and wise.

Evolution is not the magic wand some may perceive or fear. The heart would be unlikely to change much for dietary reasons. As far as evolution is concerned, you are pretty much on your own after you have produced children. Since heart problems typically surface long after child-bearing occurs, they are not affected directly by evolutionary pressures.

Scientism, It has an altar, which is science itself. And it has its shamans.

Interesting enough. Something to think about anyway. I still see no real proof of evolution in our lives.

I may not reply right away. I am hiribist hunting on youtube.

This is a good way to spend time:

We can use all the help we can get too.

That’s some cult gripping you by the throat there, sunshine.

Should read: “How Your Brain Creates, Lives and Furthers the Socialist Revolution”

That would the absence of a brain.

Ah.. so the truth comes out, and I was right again...

Thank you, Jim Robinson!
