" God is Man's response to a legacy of evolutionary discontent. The faculty of conceptual thought that raised Man above all other animal life was achieved only at the cost of a divided and tormented mind... Man's response to that awful burden of self-determination was to create for himself a god and to still his self doubts in the solace of religion".(p.1)

Lost Gods
The huge lust for answers, to answer the unknown. To rationalise the world around us but without any knowledge of the world we inhabit. God is the answer to fill the gaps of knowledge. It's been made redundant centuries ago.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
