I can pull shit out of my ass too.
How's this, before we were born the magical snarfwidget dreamed up each of our personalities and then inserted them into the male sperm, because women are just fields to seed.
No, here is reality. WE WERE NOTHING before we were born. The sperm and egg is what made us. Our personalities "we" our "self" is an outcome of material processes. The only way we survive after we die is in the memories of those who survive us.
You confuse the "abundance" of life as needing a cosmic manufacturer.
Think of the billions of humans now dead, and the 7 billion living today. EACH OF THE MEN out of all of them have thousands of male emissions with millions of sperm in each throughout their life times, and all that where the majority fail, only to produce a kid or a few kids?
BUT ALL LIFE IS LIKE THAT, for every tree that grows tall, there are thousands of more acorns that simply rot. And not to mention that 99% of all species that lived are now extinct in evolution.
With all that manufacturing waste, do you really want to postulate a god? Wouldn't a better explanation be that there is no god, and what we see as far as life is merely a product of evolution?
And what about all the bad shit in life if you are going to postulate an all powerful being? A downs syndrome baby? A child with cancer. Ecoli, anthrax, war, crime disease, natural disaster.
Would you hire a baby sitter who allowed that shit to happen to your kid, even if they claimed "I didn't do it", no, but you allowed it even though you didn't have to.
Seriously, before you go having a kneejerk reaction of emotion, THINK! What would be so frightening if there was no god? It seems to me that with everything that happens that is really shitty in nature and human nature, it seems to me that it would make no difference.
Next question you should ask yourself. NOT ME but look in the mirror and ask yourself.
"Why do I rightfully reject the superstitions of others?" I know why. But once you figure that out you should be able to understand why we reject your claims as well.
NOW I promise you, there really is nothing to fear, life will still have ups and downs and you can still enjoy it without assigning it to a comic book super hero.
