So take biology for example: God doesn't exist so we weren't created by God so our origin necessarily comes from nature and biology and the prevailing theory is evolution. Evolution satisfies your worldview and so its easy to accept.The trouble is that this isn't why I accept biology. Nor is biology the reason I don't believe in gods. I breed plants and animals. It's not because I don't believe in god that biology must work....and, buddy, evolutionary biology certainly doesn't satisfy my actual worldview. I'm not looking to nature for instruction on the good life for all of the same reasons I don't and wouldn't look to gods for the same, existent or otherwise. I don't think I've ever spent any time looking out across the ridges thinking "if it's good enough for a bobcat, it's good enough for me!".
You're not capable of abandoning this are you? Well, good luck I guess. It never goes well. You aren't going to learn anything or understand anything better when it's over. You'll have asserted your beliefs, not challenged them.
