My honest reason for disliking the idea of God

[Tonus]

Science is pretty young and it might take many generations to detect something even close to God. Like supernatural phenomenons. That's why many people still take "leap of faith".

The development of the scientific method may have begun more than a thousand years ago. People have been using some form of it to increase human knowledge for at least that long, if not much longer. During that time humanity has transformed the world by building on what we know as we learn more, thanks to a system that does that efficiently by accounting for bias as best as it can. The religious approach to gaining knowledge has not changed in that time because the belief is that anything and everything that we need to know is written down in an old book authored by a being that has all possible knowledge and information in his mind.

I'm not sure that science is young anymore, though it is definitely much younger than religion. Scientists have detected neutrinos-- particles that are trillions of times smaller than an atom. They've measured the age and size of the universe and made amazing strides in understanding how it works. And they can't find god anywhere. Religion's contribution during all of this has been to explain that they never will detect him because he's just that far out of our reach. That leap of faith is akin to stepping off of a diving board into an empty pool that you were told was filled with supernatural water.
