Do you believe in God and why

A fair question for you, could it be you are communicating with yourself? 
 

As we know, or believe we carry memories in our DNA, and also called genetic memory since genes are built up on dna, and the dna memory have been formed by your very first ancestors all the way up to you. Can it be your answers lays inside you, and not outside? 

It's a good question, but I'm not sure from what level of understanding it comes from, so it's difficult to give an answer that would be of value to you. I must therefore keep the answer on a general level.

You can seek to access that memory if you like, and I think it's good to talk to your body. Genetic memory is a part of something much bigger though.

You guess that Tippaporn is not referring to 'real' science?? Why are you guessing?? I'll give you a hint. You're guessing because Tippaporn is not clear in his use of language, which causes confusion. A fundamental requirement of all science is precision of terminology and the meaning of words.

 

If one is referring in one's post to 'scientific propaganda', or 'fake science' that is not based on data and experimental evidence, then one should make that clear and not just use the general word 'science'.

I've never said that science denies the existence of subjective reality.  Science recognises it's existence but does not treat it as real in the same way it considers a physical object to be real.  What comes from subjective reality carries no weight with science.  Science not only grants subjective reality zero credibility but it has a great distrust of subjective reality as well.
 

Let's focus on the part of your post I've highlighted. I think the problem here is that you've lumped all types of sujective reality into one category. For me, subjective reality is what I interpret through my senses of sight, hearing, feeling, taste, smell and intellect. Are you saying that science grants zero credibility to all these interpretations? Are you saying that science grants zero credibility to my claim that I enjoy or dislike the taste of a particular food, or the sight of a particular painting, or the sound of a particular piece of music?

 

I understand if I express an opinion, that there is a Creator God for example, that is not supported by a shred of evidence that meets the requirements of the 'methodology of science', then a qualified scientist might claim that my opinion has zero credibility, but that my opinion still exists in my mind, and/or in written text. Is this what you mean?

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the other party for your own "user error."    It's not so difficult to divine the meaning of the words I use given the context.  Scientific fairy tales completely went over the head of your understanding.  By your own words:

"The concept of a 'scientific fairy tale' is no more than a false interpretation of the 'real' science by the scientifically illiterate."

When some refers to someone else's truth as a fairy tale the meaning is perfectly clear.  At least to most others.

Here's another recent example of your "user error."
 

"Another excellent example of great confusion. Well done!  ????

 

"Of course science accepts the existence of subjective reality." <snip>

I've never stated that science denies subjective reality it's existence as I'm only too well aware that science does recognise it.

Also, I corrected you on your mistake in a reply to which you never acknowledged your error.  Here you are making another.  mauGR1, on the other hand, feels no shame to admit to erring.

Good catch.  The math symbols commonly used in calculus prevent copying and pasting so I chose any old math equation that appeared complex enough to provide the intended illustrative contrast to the simplest of addition equations.  It was artistic license on my part.  I never expected or intended for anyone to try and recognise or perhaps solve the problem.  And yes, the equation I chose did not paste it's formatting well at all.  It's an unsolvable mess.

If it can't be proven by science then it's not accepted as real.  That is science's general stance, is it not?  It's certainly the stance taken here by every disciple of science, including yourself.

 

Since you express incredulity at the preposterous idea that science would dare not bestow credibility on whatever interpretation of reality you receive via your five senses then what credibility would science bestow on the following?  One hears God's voice using the physical sense of hearing.  One sees God with their physical eyes.  One feels God's embrace.  Not sure if there have been any reports in our history of anyone claiming to smell or taste God. 

I've never known that the intellect is one of the five senses.  Or is that the sixth sense?  Just having some fun.    Hopefully you can laugh at yourself as well.  As the old adage goes, "If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?"  Or as Groucho Marx would say, “If you find it hard to laugh at yourself, I would be happy to do it for you.”

No it's not. You've fallen into the 'either/or' trap. That is, something is either good or bad, hot or cold, credible or not credible at all. You seem to dismiss the obvious fact that there is a range of varying qualities and quantities.

 

'Zero credibility' is at the bottom of the range of degrees of credibility, which is why I interpreted your statement that 'science considers subjective reality to have zero credibility', as equivalent to 'science considers subjective reality as non-existent'. How can anything that is accepted as existing have 'zero credibility?

 

Science is an ongoing process and nothing is fully settled, although many issues are sufficiently settled to be of practical use in developing successful technology.

There are many examples of people hearing or seeing things which exist only in the mind. An example would be the fairly common condition of Tinnitus, which is a ringing, or buzzing, or clicking in the ears and which is not based on any external source of sound. I can imagine that someone who is totally unaware of such a condition, might believe he is being surrounded and followed by swarms of Crickets or Cicadas.

 

Every experience has to interpreted in some way, whether automatically, unconsciously, instinctively, or through some processing by the intellect. It's the interpretation that can sometimes be given 'zero credibility', as in the example of a person interpreting his Tinnitus as the sound of crickets or cicadas, or a person interpreting a voice in his head as a communication with an 'Almighty Creator of the Universe'. Got it?

Words may be synonymous but not identical in meaning.  Here are some synonyms for 'credible.'  Non-existent is not listed because the meaning is not close.  So no equivalency.  (You can, alternately, look up the definition for each to see the difference in meaning.)

By the evidence of your own admission that you made that erroneous equivalency it stands to reason that my assessment of "user error" is indeed correct.  I did not say 'non-existent' and my use of the word 'credible' does not infer 'non-existent.'  Do you agree?

Dear me! You've got things the wrong way round. ????

 

I've never associated credibility with non-existence. I've associated 'zero credibility' with non-existence.
Zero credibility means there is no credibility whatsoever, of any type or degree. That which is claimed to exist, without a shred of scientific evidence supporting its existence, can rationally and sensibly be described as non-existent. If you were to claim that there is a 12th century Chinese teapot orbiting Saturn or Jupiter, then that could be described as non-existent, due to 'zero credibility'.

Of course this is absolutely correct and this very thing has been explained in myriad ways over the life of this thread. More than a few times by little ol' me. Even my postscript, ever since joining TV/AN (and long before this thread), delivers this very message. Somehow rational, reasonable, basic common sense still falls on deaf ears and blind eyes.

If you were to claim that there is a 12th century Chinese teapot orbiting Saturn or Jupiter, then that could be described as non-existent, due to 'zero credibility'.
 

Here's the definition for credible:

adjective

capable of being believed; believable:a credible statement.

worthy of belief or confidence; trustworthy:a credible witness.

 

Per the definition above 'zero credibility' would translate to 'not to be believed at all,' 'lacking all belief and confidence', and 'not at all trustworthy.'  You can insist all you like about making a rational or sensible argument that would allow you to substitute the word 'non-existent' for 'zero credibility' but honestly you can't.  Ring up Merriam-Webster and have them add 'non-existent' to the definition of 'credible.'  They've recently edited the definitions of a few other words to accommodate certain pressure groups to help them continue to deceive.  They might oblige you.

Your entire argument is fallacious.  You're insisting that you have the license to change the meaning of words because, well, it supports your argument.  And sans that support you have to admit to "user error."  And you can't bring yourself to admitting you erred.  Perhaps because any admission of error on any point would bring into question whether any of your other points made throughout this thread were in error, too.  Why, you'd lose credibility!  Can't have that!

Ideally, I'd like to conclude this discussion with mutual understanding.  So, after a bit of thought on how else I might convey clarity I had the thought of elaborating on my the intended meaning when I used 'zero credibility.'

 

When I say that science attaches zero credibility to subjective reality my intended meaning is that science gives zero validity to subjective reality.  In other words, Science accepts subjective reality but considers it's products to be strictly in the realm of the imagination.  And that which is imaginary is not real.

FYI, valid is a synonym of credible.

Would you accept that?

I believe we as humans carry genetic memories that actually leads us through life for good and bad, and sometimes make unconsciously decision’s for us without we even know it.

That's a fair post, actually i tend to believe that the spiritual in us is a sort of a mirror of our physical traits. 

It would be interesting to study the spiritual aspects of DNA, actually some are doing that already. 

Like someone said a few posts ago, it will be not too long before the existence of a soul ,or spiritual "body", will be considered real by the science. 

Perhaps a few centuries I'd guess.

If you can relate the soul to something physical like dna, I can believe that, and you transfer parts of your soul to next generation if you have children. You also will constantly as long you live leave physical dna that mother earth takes back from you via water, trees, plants, which we also eat and drink from. An endless recycling of life as long it last.

Well, while we are in a physical body, we have to deal with a dual reality, and everything looks separated, but if we look a bit further, everything is in fact connected.
