Why do people still believe in Jesus and Christianity?

I think there is a mistake. Nothing you said is a response to my post.

You suggested an elephant was holding up the Earth. My post about the Apollo project and the Moon was relevant to your post.

I suggested it without subscribing to it.

You do not know what "inversion fallacy" is. And you don't get to make up your own meanings.

An inversion fallacy is when one projects their own problems upon another as an argument. It is an invalid argument, since they are describing themselves or something diametrically opposed to the argument. It did not create this fallacy or it's meaning. A fallacy is an error in logic, a closed functional system like mathematics.

Phenomenology does not address ultimate reality. Husserl, the main founder, never mentions it.

There is no founder of philosophy or any of it's branches.

It is not.

"Inversion fallacy": Denying the antecedent, sometimes also called inverse error or fallacy of the inverse.

a formal fallacy of inferring the inverse from the original statement. It is committed by reasoning in the form:[1]

If P, then Q.
Therefore, if not P, then not Q.

which may also be phrased as

P → Q {\displaystyle P\rightarrow Q} P\rightarrow Q (P implies Q)
∴ ¬ P → ¬ Q {\displaystyle \therefore \neg P\rightarrow \neg Q} \therefore \neg P \rightarrow \neg Q (therefore, not-P implies not-Q)[1]

My claim was not that religion is meaningless. My claim was that proofs of afterlife or no afterlife are meaningless.

You specifically mentioned religion as meaningless. However, since you have narrowed you claim to this:

No proof is possible (other than dying and then coming back to life). Therefore, there is nothing to be meaningless.

"There is no voting bloc in science."

Never said there is.

Yes you did. You said science uses consensus. That is a voting bloc. Science does not use consensus. There is no voting bloc in science. Semantics fallacy. Denial of self paradox.

There is. Hegel was really the first to use the term "phenomenolgy." Later, Husserl turned it into a method. Heidegger is the modern example of the method.

Never said anything about voting. Stop lying.

You didn't need to subscribe to it. The mere suggestion is enough.

Find where I said religion is meaningless. Never said that. I only referred to statements about afterlife. You are being contentious.

Nope. Wikipedia is wrong, like usual. You cannot use this as a reference with me.
Denying the antecedent is not an inversion fallacy. You cannot project your own problems against another as an argument. That argument is invalid.

There is no founder of philosophy or any of it's branches. False authority fallacy.

You are factually wrong. But, I can see you know nothing about philosophy and are just mouthing off.

If you want to deny your own statements, go right ahead. I don't need to show you your own posts. If someone wants to look it up, they are free to do so.

"Phenomenology has been practiced in various guises for centuries, but it came into its own in the early 20th century in the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and others."

You're an idiot. Sorry, your belligerent stupidity tests my patience.
