hitchens - reasons to doubt theism
Bookmarked 780 weeks ago philosophy is doubt- michel de montaigne in a world of charlatans skepticism is a virtue and faith a vice in a world of suffering and extinction evolutionary naturalism is more probable than theistic intervention quoti always have to think too of a little boy sitting on the banks of a river in west africa who has a worm boring through his eyeball turning him blind before he039s five years old and i reply and say quotwell presumably the god you speak about created the worm as wellquot and now i find that baffling to credit a merciful god with that actionquot-david attenboroughcharles darwin--quotthat there is much suffering in the world no one disputes which is more likely that pain and evil are the result of an all-powerful and good god or the product of uncaring natural forces the presence of much suffering agrees well with the view that all organic beings have been developed through variation and natural selectionquotpaul draper:theism is less plausible than naturalism-natural selection accounts for all or almost all of the fantastic complexity we find in the living world:e: for a variety of biological and ecological reasons organisms compete for survival with some having an advantage in the struggle for survival over others as a result many organisms including many sentient beings never flourish because they die before maturity many others barely survive but languish for most or all of their lives and those that reach maturity and flourish for much of their lives usually languish in old age in the case of human beings and some nonhuman animals as well languishing often involves intense or prolonged suffering naturalism is by virtue of its smaller scope and greater simplicity a more plausible hypothesis than theism and also that naturalism has much greater predictive power than theismi can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing i think it039s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong i have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things but im not absolutely sure of anything and in many things i dont know anything about such as whether it means anything to ask why were here and what the question might mean i might think about a little but if i cant figure it out then i go to something else but i dont have to know an answer i dont feel frightened by not knowing things by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as i can tell possibly it doesnt frighten merichard feynman |
