Rene Descartes said that reality never look the way we see it. Therefore, based on the error in the knowledge of science is shaping our image of all phenomena in nature. It is, without a doubt, our ideas about the world in which we live malformed. These facts can be experimentally proven. Hence the need to outdated methods of empirical findings replaced with new modern methods.

[...] Greetings from the fifteenth floor of our hotel room in Boston, where yesterday’s Hurricane Sandy maelstrom has relaxed to a dreary gray calm. The storm was a fierce illustration of the power of Nature — completely different from the power of Naturalism, which is what I spent the last few days discussing with some of the smartest people I know, at the Moving Naturalism Forward workshop (as mentioned).

In response to your “(I can’t imagine anyone is both a naturalist and a theist)”: perhaps it’s too much of a splitting of definitions, but cannot a Naturalist be a Pantheist?

Another question about consciousness might be ….why did the phenomena of consciousness happen to me? A possibly eternally evolving situation continued until My exclusive combination of atoms happened……Yours too…….but why am I here and you there? Without what I think of as God, something might exist here, but why would it be me?

Interesting questions! Perhaps belief in God and morality are evolutionary advantaged human traits and therefore Naturalism – moral behavior – theism – and liking choc. ice cream can co-exist in the human mind.
