There is no answer to your post, since it was neither question nor theory, just a pretty stupid statement which shows your fundamental ignorance of what science is all about.
The only thing mildly interesting would be the "people who lead us" part. Since it's obviously not the pope, but your particular choice of people. And everyone claiming to be christian chooses their own brand of people to lead them. So there's no real "us". Just a bunch of warring belief sets with their pastors, priests or whatever they call themselves.
As a slight derail to a thread that has already gone off the tracks anyway . . .

Although GC is not a Catholic, I was reminded about the histories of the Popes. The hundreds (or is it thousands?) of Christian denominations aside, one would think that a Christian Church that essentially ruled over Europe and other territories for for well over a thousand years would have some proof of the existence of God. You would think that if God spoke to any human, it would certainly be to the guy that millions of people believe speaks for God - the supposedly infallible Pope. And yet, a simple scan of Papal history shows some of the most evil, greedy, violent, sociopaths imaginable. Orgies and rape in the Vatican. The selling of indulgences, "relics", sex taxes, a war on witches and heretics and infidels - a lot of these guys were horrifyingly evil. And God never stopped a single one of them. I wonder why.
