After reading about Thomas Aquinas and talking about the floating man with no senses in class and got to thinking about somthing. Each person believes in the idea of "god" or no "god" differently. I, for example, am a christian and have always been one because I grew up with it in my family. For most people their beliefs and view coincide with what they've been taught and what they've experienced.
My Question is - If we all grew up with no experiences or beliefs and we were given equal knowledge of how the earth might have developed - what would we believe?
Are some people more apt to believe in god then another?
Are some going to rely on a more logical explanation rather then supernatural explanation of things?
I truthfully don't know what I would believe - I'm a christian now because I grew up that way, and I will probably never stop believing in god because of my experience with the religon. But at the same time, our culture has been given this horrible stereotype of what religon is - theirs so many stereotypes of christians, catholics, jews, buddists, athiests - whatever, their all so stupid.

What it really comes down to is that you believe in an all powerful god or not - yes its much more complex then this depending on the religon but a lot of the rest just has to do with culture and how god was interpreted throughout history.

What many philosophers agree with is one argument - Their may or may not be a higher being that created what we live on today. whether you believe is is up to you.
let's try and think about that without the ideas of what religon is today.

For me, I'm completely respectful for what others might believe, but what I think is that their are way to many "coincidences" in our world for their not to be some sort of higher being.
