@PiperAtTheGatesOfYourMom even if that were true, its still wouldn't rule out for at least 50% of the general population to be borderline retarded, or unaware/ignorant. And people can still specialize in one area, while still being totally incompetent in others. There's creationist doctors for pete's sake.

@carlosverastegui2415 no, because when people say "facts" they are usually referring to the fundamental axiomatic belief in logic. And that is where all of science and math is derived from. While religion is rarely concerned with logic, as it usually has fundamental beliefs that by virtue of having no evidence, are already illogical. So science and math are definitely more factual than religion, at least in the logical sense.

@nicford1486 llogical (or unfounded) beliefs are functionally equivalent to feelings They feel that their sacred texts are true Religion is literally feelings, just ones that are difficult to change (not taking ignorance into account)

@DC-dudu religion is based on faith, which is the absence of evidence, which is fundamentally illogical

@DC-dudu when talking about making a decision based on feelings, we are talking about making a descriptive claim based on feelings which you're unsure whether actually describe the thing in question. And since we weren't there to see God inspire the books, we have to rely on a claim which we are unsure of whether it actually describes the thing in question. Which are the same thing .

@nicford1486 so do you think that just because I used my brain to figure out that 2+2=4, that 2+2 does not in fact equal 4? Clearly, there are some fundamental basic things that we can still understand, otherwise we wouldn't exist. After all, if the world functions on logic, and we are built to survive in it, it makes sense that we would have evolved to understand logic, at least on some basic level. Maybe that is why we have advanced so far past any other species by such an inc amount. However, there are many limitations in how we might understand or interpret these kinds of things. That's why we have a list of fallacies, and that's one of the reasons why many people still believe in religion and certain conspiracy theories and cults. But there's people who have been trying their best to seperate our understandings of these things from our physical limitations for hundreds of years. That's how we have things like fallacies, philosophy, debates, "rational thinking", ect. So just because it's hard to come up with them, doesn't mean they're incomprehensible to us. And the requirement of evidence is a part of the axiomatic belief in logic itself, so it doesn't require evidence itself. You have to look at epistemology for that. The thing is, I don't even know if you can reject logic, because your brain's inner workings are logical whether you accept it or not. And, once you believe in logic, a part of it dictates that you can't just assume something exists because you want to.

@nicford1486 Yes, logic is the one thing which we have to assume, because otherwise all though breaks down. There is even a whole field of study on this called epistemology. But it is very weird to say that you don't believe in logic, even though that you probably use it every day in every other situation except for a select few you don't like, and probably can't know, and even though the brain that you're using to make that decision seems to be working completely logically. And even then, our knowledge of something is not necessarily the same as what it actually is, and if logic is actually (obviously depending on how we define logic) descriptive rather than prescriptive, then yes, you could still change your knowledge on something, or your perception, by believing in whatever you want, but what it actually is, would still be, by definition, described by logic.
