Evidence God Exists

[Loki_999]

Neanderthals are extinct. Further proof we are the only species meant to have sapient intelligence!

So, if we go extinct it will prove that we were not meant to have sapient intelligence as well? Got it! So, its not a matter of whether we really have intelligence, it matters whether we exist or not. EPIC FAIL.

Intelligence really means nothing. All that matters in the universe is survival. The dinosaurs were surviving very happily until conditions on Earth changed to wipe them out (no, God didn't do it, we believe it was a natural event). Amoeba live quite happily in their microscopic world without intelligence (by the way, they are also a lot more complex than Humans having 290 billion base pairs in their genome while humans only 2.9 billion pairs - interesting fact i just learned). There are many creatures that can live in conditions that humans would find fatal. And, as Carl Sagan rightly pointed out: "Every one of us is a multitude". You think you are a single creature, divinely created by god? Go and take some basic biology courses. We are comprised of billions of living cells and at the center of each of those cells is a strange of DNA. We are wonderful creatures and amazingly complex, but we are nothing special, every other living thing on our planet also has DNA.

By the way, i'm 40, was brought up in a slightly Christian family (ie: my mum went to church and believes in a supernatural entity called God, she talks to him sometimes). I realized that "God" was no more valid than Santa Clause about the same time, younger than 10. I worked this out from observation and education despite being taught from a young age that God existed.

I guess the programming never took with me. Some people unfortunately all too easily succumb to the brainwashing or find the comfort of a fairy godmother (or god) watching over them to be so comforting they are willing to believe in it despite the complete lack of real evidence.
