Just because humans have the competence formulate ideas, to rationalize and understand the natural sciences around them, to even use those skills to fabricate instruments to better enhance their survival, in no way, shape, or form points to a wish-granting magic sky fairy.There are alot of differences between god and imaginary creatures, for one god has a book that people can read. History and scholars prove god exist. Everybody uses faith even you. God also has made us in his design the bible says. Where do conscience and morals come from? other mammals dont have them.
Human awareness, their intelligence, their ability to perceive, is not a conduit to the divine, it is simply the result of what the species needed to survive. Humans don't have much going for them. They are not particularly strong. They can not run too fast. They are not proficient swimmers. They can't fly. They do not have built-in camouflage. Their eyesight is not top-notch, nor is their hearing, or sense of smell. They are not venomous, They're not poisonous, or even faux-poisonous. They are just the most intelligent creature on the planet. They needed those big brains to out-think the rest fierce and vicious predators they shared the early Earth with. If they did not possess this capability, they would be extinct.

The bible has 40 authors and has existed for thousands of years. But your ignoring that. Why would it be a magic book. Have you tried using faith? if it were a magic book that would mean everything happened by chance. Faith never works like a magicians trick.
