Eliminative Materialism 1-3

Part One:
I don't think it's perfectly okay to blame God for something that a scientist cannot explain. The fact that not everyone believes in a god, or believes in the same god makes the "joke" illogical and unnecessary. Also, one can argue for proof of evidence if a god really does exist or not.

Part Two:
Replacing mythic pasts with new and more accurate terminology throughout the years from having a better understanding of our surroundings makes sense. Though I didn't think it was necessary to eliminate gods whose stories have been passed on generation from generation. Replacing certain things with a more precise explanation based on real facts and observations is more useful than depending on myths that can be illogical and not useful when it comes to understanding how our body functions or how our mind works.

Part Three:
As the video stated, "materialistic explanation changes over time.", we've been looking for logical explanations that explains the changes that occur in our body, our mind, and even in society. I think it's puzzling how we accepted our ways of thinking to be constantly changed except for the way we think about ourselves, and the fact that it didn't come from a neuro scientific understanding but rather from myths instead.
