I think that is different. I am not religious so I find it crazy, but if you are raised to believe in a God it is not strange to think the God can do whatever he feels like and it doesn't need historical precedent or any evidence. Humans have believe in Gods throughout history.
- psychlops 5y agoI'm open to hear why it's different. Humans have believed in flat earth throughout history, but it doesn't make it more sane. Seems to me that having people believe in things on faith opens them up to all sorts of ideas not based on science.
- kmonsen 5y agoI have a different take on why it is different (seen from my point of view, of course it is possible that God actually exists and walked on water). People are brought up with religion as a really core of their identity, and it is really hard to separate that from themselves. It is sort of like being in a cult, incredibly hard to understand that. There is the saying the difference between a cult and a religion is the number of believers. Edit: Also, the flat earth thing has not been believed by mainstream since the ancient Greeks for more than 2000 years.
- 1123581321 5y agoIt’s because our ability to sense and measure the physical universe greatly outpaces our sense of any metaphysical aspects, and there are several systems of belief in the metaphysical in harmony with scientific advancement. Knowledge of earth’s roundness is ancient, by the way. Several cultures discovered it before the classical area in which Christianity was founded.
