Document Summary
Is the concept of god the evolutionary consequence of the hyper social brains. Objections: many philosophers will say no to this question because many believe that. God exists and that there is plenty of proof. Method provides plenty of reasons and examples of god"s existence. Descartes believes that it is impossible for an imperfect mind to develop something so perfect as god if god does not really exist. He claims that the reason why humans are in doubt of god is because humans are naturally imperfect. If something is not supported by senses or imagination, humans will refuse to believe that it exists. God"s existence can only be perceived by reason. The answer to this question seems to be no due to the argument that because god is a perfect mind, and humans are his creation, bodies are perfect because humans are the result of god"s mind at work.
