What are the evidence for no god?

Touche on the first.   On the biology, I did pass.  I had to drop out before I could finish because of the circumstances life handed me.  Life sometimes sucks.

Yeah that can suck. My husband dropped out of his degree due to medical reasons and I nearly failed my MSc due to debilitating depression at the time. I'd love to go back and do another MSc to make up for it but it's too expensive.

I think RocketSurgeon is correct in that you have been misinformed by people with an agenda.

I was brought up in a house that believed in reincarnation, ghosts and other bizarre stuff. My grandmother claimed to be a medium, a faith healer and used to hold seances and played with Ouija boards. And I believed it all without question although I rejected Christianity early on even though I went to a Christian school. The first thing I rejected was the concept of the devil.

It actually came to a grinding halt during my MSc when I had to start thinking critically about the nature of life. It was a course in Evolutionary and Adaptive systems. I felt like my crutches had been kicked away from me at a point when I was most vulnerable and I had no reason to live my life any more. It was a particularly bad time for me anyway for other medical reasons I won't go into and I became suicidal. But that year I eventually realised that there is no meaning to life except that which we give it. So I decided on what I wanted to achieve with my life. It was rather liberating.

I never gained that skill to think critically from my first degree in Computer Science. That course was more like engineering. My brother who studied to be a rocket scientist actually became a born again Christian. He believes in evolution by the way.

So yes it is extremely tough to question everything that you have been conditioned to believe from an early age. This conditioning stays with you for life in many ways. For example, childhood fears. This is why religions target children in particular.

Human beings are not rational agents. We're built for a very specific purpose. This is why we have instincts. But unlike other animals our neocortex is well developed and is capable of conscious self reflection. This means that we have the ability to question everything that we assume to be true. But like all abilities it needs to be practised and developed.
