Why does science always upstage God?

[ayost]

Ok, so it feels like your first statement is assuming that there was a time or people or civilization that had no concept of God and then all of the sudden theists started making up gods to explain things. Fine hypothesis, I guess, only I would challenge you to show me the people or culture or time where there was no God and then someone made it up. That's a strong assumption you can't prove. In fact, all of the evidence seems to point in the other direction: that man has always had a relationship with God, even though that relationship can get messed up.

Do you have a materialistic, evolutionary, humanist worldview? (or some combination of those? or none of them?) I'm trying to get a sense of what questions to ask you.

Yes that's an assumption, a hypothesis. But a simple google search suggest that it appears to be valid. Examples:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.17040

I have a god(s) does not exist world except as a human fantasy world view.

Neither one of those articles do any more than join your assumption. In the first atheists lived among theists. Ok, we knew that. In your second article we just started with many gods and moved to one god. We knew that too. I asked for the society without a god concept.

It's also not something I think is true.  Look at that, can't count on atheists to believe that truth is subjective.  2 and 2 is 4, right...not 2 and 2 is 4.....if there's a god.

I'm not speaking to all atheists about brewers truth claim, I was speaking to brewer.
