You know all the common logical arguments: cosmological, fine tuning, contingency, teleological, moral absolutes, mathematics, etc. If you add in bio-genesis, complexity of life, gaps in the fossil record, and human consciousness, you get a cumulative case that makes it entirely rational to believe in a god.No it does not. Gaps in knowledge do not suggest that there is a god. Complexity of life evolved, that did not need a god only physics. Consciousness is nothing more than biochemical reactions coupled with electrical impulses that allows our brain to seem more than what it is. Take away or add chemical or electrical stimuli and the consciousness changes. Again, no god.
If you could just forget that you actually believe in a god long enough to really examine it, you would see that any god is completely illogical and impossible.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
