They are no different that the proof the Santa Claus existed when you were a child.
Most people were quite young when they were first indoctrinated about a god - and uneducated is the correct term - not dumb. And most of the time - the indoctrination was done by their parents - who they trusted most.
So - for most people - they never asked for proof of a god - they simply accepted what their parents told them.
But - education - something that religion worked to happen - actually taught us to question things and ask for proof. And the more outlandish the claim - the greater proof was required. When I was young - if you asked for proof of god - you would be pummeled - and told not to question it.
Today - if they did that to you - they would be arrested
So - since there is NO proof of a supernatural god - what could they possibly say except for Double Talk - and nonsense?
And that is why religion is not only losing members - but it is aging rapidly - with fewer and fewer young people joining the nonsense. So - where does religion get its new young members - from third world areas where the children are largely uneducated.
And uneducated people are not accustomed to looking for reality.
