I can see how our brains might work based upon Bayesian probability theory, which says that probability is conditional and interpreted as a degree of belief. It is very true that projections would be very helpful for us to live and survive, but that is impossible. No one can predict the future. We can make assumptions as to the outcomes of certain beliefs, events, actions or decisions we make, but we will never be able to say for sure what the end results will be. Our consciousness only goes so far and is only capable of making us retain our past experiences and beliefs as well as make us aware of the things that are currently taking place.
Reading this makes me wonder why it is that if philosophers and scientists have succeeded in proving and disproving certain things by testing and laying out facts, why have they been unable to do it with religion? Is the inability to "test" its validity due to lack of solid evidence the only reason? Surely there must be more to it than that. I cannot deny the fact that science is incredibly amazing in itself, but that is also true for religion, any religion that is. I think if everyone was a bit more open-minded they would be able to accept that science is the bottom line truth to scientists, philosophers, and all that choose to accept that as the only truth, just as religion is the bottom line truth to a believer of a certain religion or entity.
