Why are theists so obtuse?
Because natural selection applies to any replicating informational system not just carbon based life.
The evangelical christian memeplex says "copy me." It has as a subset the command to not consider alternate explanations. That feature, analogous to scales or a shell in animals, directly protects it from external existential threats. Clearly, this stability, in a large number of typical cases, is more influential than the will of the individual believer. It is what allows the memeplex to persist and expand.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
