Come on down to the mountains of East Tennessee. Hike up there early in the morning stand on the edge of the cliff and listen to the birds chirping, watch the foxes darting through the grass and watch the sun rise, poking his bright little head out from behind the clouds.
You look at that and tell me the lord God doesn't exist. Go on and do it!
I love being in the mountains and find them beautiful and awe-inspiring but not being able to explain how something came to be is not license to claim that it had to be a god. That is an argument from incredulity and ignorance and it is truly sad to see people settle for that. When I look at nature it inspires me to try to learn more about geology and evolution and all that the sciences can tell me about what is demonstrably true about how things formed. That understanding gives me a much deeper appreciation for what I'm seeing because I can begin to understand it a little. Deep time is much more impressive than superstition.
