How many people in this world claim to have had close encounters with supernatural entities-deities, spirits, angels, demons, ghosts, etc? It cannot be that they are all crazy, something has to be true
If you aren’t convinced by that argument, you shouldn’t be convinced by your own, because its logic is the same
- Loquebantur 3y ago? No, it's not. If you show "uneducated" people wild stuff, they will give even wilder recounts of that experience. That doesn't make the event unreal. Religious or "esoteric" explanations are simply representations in a pre-scientific world view. That doesn't necessarily render the events represented "unscientific" (which people equate to "unreal").
- etrautmann 3y agoYou could use this argument to either support or refute all world religions. I don’t understand how you could argue that large numbers of people can’t be wrong (see most of history)
- s1artibartfast 3y agoThat is the same point made in the post you are replying to.
