No evidence is necessary

Add comment April 6th, 2006

The Martian Anthropologist was writing about God today in his post called Dragon in my Garage, saying, “if you can’t back up a claim with evidence, it is not worth considering.” He also said, “I’m not going to believe in something just because it makes me feel better.”

Why not? Why not believe in something if it makes you feel better?

I’ve had this argument with a friend of mine back in Canberra, over the years. It’s their fatalistic belief as well that if it can’t be physically proven, then there’s no point considering it.
