We cant dumb it down any further for you.
"Because I say so" is not an argument.
There is only ONE method that is universal in settling disputes between competing claims and that is scientific method.
I disagree with your assertion that the scientific method is the only method of settling disputed claims. I'll wait for you to settle it, using the scientific method!
When it comes to science YES! Religion is merely something humans pass down to their kids worldwide. Funny how our species and planet were around long before any written religion.
You wont find any law of thermodynamics in any ancient Buddhist writings.
You wont find any theory of gravity formulas in the Koran.
You wont find any scientific language in the Torah or Talmud explain the sun burning from nuclear fusion.
You won't find the words adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in the Hindu Vedas.
Nor does your bible explain how a sperm fertilizes an egg.
There is no assertion on my part by stating the fact that humans worldwide as compared to today, back then didn't know shit about the nature of reality.
You do what most humans do, you confuse comic book morality of antiquity as being the seat of human morality to justify your club and book. Our species morality isn't in Charlotte's Web or Star Wars or Harry Potter either.
Most humans don't want to face their finite existence and concocting buying and selling religion, is nothing more than an artificial form of tribalism born out of human ignorance.
Our species ability to be compassionate and non violent, is not in a holy book, not in a holy person of any religion. Our species ability to be cruel and violent is also not in a holy writing, or a fictional evil spirit or demon or devil. Our species ability to be cruel and violent is also in our evolution.
You like Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists simply WANT those clubs and writings and heros to be eternal and forever. It is a mere comic book reflection of our species own attributes and desires. A 13.8 billion year old universe with an estimated 2 TRILLION galaxies in it, and you want me to buy claims of humans being special?
I hate to burst your bubble bud, but 5 billion years from now, long after our species goes extinct, after our planet dies and sun dies, neither Jesus, or Buddha, or Yahweh, or Vishnu or Allah, nor you are me, humans will not exist, nor will the universe itself give one shit about the fictions humans have concocted.
What matters to me now, is while I am alive, what should matter to humans is not allowing their superstitions lead to bullshit war and needless death.
There is no naked assertion on my part stating the fact that we know way more now, than the claims of antiquity.
