This is just another one of those things that's only convincing if you let your views be shaped by the evidence, rather than shaping the evidence to fit your views.
And that works both ways of course.
No one has the upper hand on these questions, and nothing annoys me more that people on either side making unfounded claims of superiority.
Had religion never been ''invented'' these discussions would be non-existent. People would be content living like AS IT REALLY IS, and not wondering how it could/should/would be if there is a god. Inventing a god to fill in the gaps of what we don't understand has honestly done more to harm mankind in general, than simply not believing in a higher power at all.
