If humans have such enormous capacity for delusion that far more than half of them are deluded into thinking there is a God, then how can we trust any sort of evidence? Who is to say that the evidence itself is not all a mass delusion?
Again I ask, what contradiction?
Firstly, people believing in some god does not count as evidence. Secondly, "how can we trust any sort of evidence"?
Evidence(verifiable) comes from sight, sound, touch, the ability to measure, test and repeat. That is evidence. That is the kind of evidence I require for me to believe in god's existance.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
