Forecasting God?

For your Sunday morning edification I link to a piece written by Marshall Lev Dermer, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  Dermer’s piece is titled “Forecasters and the Existence of God.”

“If you care (or dare) to discuss why some people believe in the existence of God and others do not, such discussions almost always reduce to the issue of faith.  Apparently, one person has faith and another does not and we cannot understand the basis for faith so we might well stop our discussion.

I neither understand every aspect of faith nor present a more complete behavior analytic interpretation here, but understanding why weather forecasts ma influence our behavior may tell us something valuable about faith in the existence of God, particularly the faith of children.”

Personally, I’ll read or listen to weather forecasts, but I always walk outside to see what the weather is actually like.
