What is Quotempole?

But notice the hole atheists have dug for themselves. By saying that our brains are powerful deception machines, they have undercut the validity of science itself. If we can dismiss spiritual experiences (such as “feeling the Holy Ghost”) by appealing to brain chemistry, we can also dismiss sensory experiences in the same way and for the same reasons. If our brains are built to trick us, why should we trust anything they tell us, including the evidence for evolution, relativity, or any other scientific theory?
