Don't theists ever tire of this god of the gaps nonsense? At which point will gods hand in the universe be completely removed? The discovery of life elsewhere? Scientists creating life from molecules in a lab? This position is always retreating. First god throws lightning bolts, then god simply uses static in the atmosphere as his method for creating lightning. Stinks of desperation honestly. You can argue that our existence proves god's existence, to which my rebuttal is that our existence proves abiogenesis, however unlikely, happens on its own. When we discover life elsewhere in the galaxy, and we will, that will be twice that abiogenesis has happened without the aid of magic. Answer something for me, why would a supernatural being use natural processes to operate the universe? It seems to me if everything was magically created by a superbeing, at least one process would operate by pixiedust or angel farts. But it doesnt. Everything operates by natural cyclic processes. There is nothing unexplainable. I will bet my very life that when scientists discover how life began, an apologist like you is going to claim that method as god's method for creation. It is a sad attempt to keep an archaic and adolescent construct relevant.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
