A lot of these arguments are stawmen of Christianity/Christian people (like the entire OP for example). Sometimes it's best not to bother responding.
Sorry CL, but both you and NEO believe in the super natural.
What we object to is the naked assertion ultimately and we could care less if you call this the God of the bible, or Allah or Yahweh, or Vishnu or Apollo or Isis or Yahweh or Thor.
I would agree that it IS better to have your facts in order before you present an argument though.
Neither of you take any time to consider why you reject all other claims besides the one you latched yourselves onto. Much like how easy it is for a used car salesman to con you into buying a rust bucket covered in bondo and a new paint job.
Yes it would be great if the world's religions, not just yours, but all, would refrain from making claims of "fact", but you wont just like Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists.
It cant be that humans mostly buy what their parents sell them at birth. It cant be humans don't like not having an answer so they gap fill. It cant be that humans hate the prospect of the reality of being finite. It cant be that. It has to be that in a 13.8 billion year old universe, knowing humans are only 200,000 years or so, that "all that" was put here for one species in a vast ocean of hostility and nothingness.
Fine, you know I don't hate you, but sorry, I cannot take your claims anymore seriously than if you claimed Yoda was real and "the Force" was too.
All I see are my fellow humans clawing at a utopia that does not exist, and never existed, when they could be using their time to help the world extend it's finite ride.
