God is "what they™ say".
You will not find an instance of any God actually saying anything without a human mouthpiece (they™).

Science is better than nothing.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

A scientist figures out how to make life out of a bucket of dirt.
He steps out of his lab, looks defiantly at the sky, and shouts, "I too can create life!"
A deep voice thunders down from the sky, "Oh, really? Let's see you do it."
"OK, I will!" The scientist gets his bucket and shovel, and starts filling the bucket with dirt.
The voice from the sky thunders, "Whoa, hold on there! What's that you're doing?"
"I'm shoveling up some dirt from which I'm going to create life!"
"Go make your own dirt."
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first, invent, the universe.

The same challenge, though, can be applied to gods. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent yourselves.

I’ve got a great recipe for caramel apple and rum pie. I’d shudder to imagine it’s full expression as the universes recipe.

Mine says stuff like “brown apples in butter” the other one would have thing like “annihilate proto Planetary disk and remix ingredients slowly for billions of years.....then wait for gae to brown apples in butter”

There’d be a little footnote for interim steps like “malaria” and “don’t forget Rwandan genocide”. Lol

Theists tell me, why is it that everything that God has provided, created and bestowed upon us, co-incidentally always seems to have
an alternate natural, more feasible explanation?

Why cannot science objectively find just one example out of trillions, where we can say, yeah, that thing right there, it shouldn't happen like that but it does, repeatedly.
That thing goes against what is logical or possible in our universe.
Example: People go back to Fatima, pray en masse for a sundance and on queue the Sun dances! For all the world to see?

Maybe it is the work of a God? Dunno They prayed to a God and a God responded... Makes logical sense.

But if God is going to act exactly like he doesn't exist in our universe, theists, why on earth do you even assume that he does?
What compels you to go against the grain of logic and common sense and dedicate your life to a particular myth from millions of other man made myths?

We just need one tiny example for God to show us something, but even that is asking too much for a non existent God.
Funny how everything in the world seems to make more sense when you take any extra unnecessary baggage out of the picture. (Occams)

Yeah, the world is a cruel place for the most part, but how is believing in something not real going to help anything or anyone. Dunno
Have we really reduced our species to relying on false hope to get by? We must have: 80% of the world does it.

(Even at the quantum level, weird shit happens, that isn't God! Why would the creator of the universe need to hide inside of atoms while we're all outside?
That's how our universe has been for 14 billion years, we're just discovering it now (last 100 years -through knowledge and technology.)

Shy

I disagree. anything that isnt founded by god himself in his word dosnt make sense. Like coming from apes/monkeys. No one has seen one evolve into a human. If we were millions of years old we would be more intelligent then we are now. The world would be alot worse. Its more easier to say someone created everything then big bang. Which by the way is unproven. Where do morals come from? and law? what about faith in something?
