If you say god is real at least prove god is real and defend your position is all.
Yeah, but if they could prove it - we wouldn't be having a discussion. The whole concept of religion is that ultimately one has to believe, that long time ago, over the hills and far away a supernatural being contacted some barbarians, who were able to accurately and objectively pass that knowledge unaltered down through generations.
I know - to a rational man, it seems like a very long shot. But for semi-illiterate masses it sounds about as plausible as any scientifically proven fact. In either case - the methods of acquiring information are impenetrable to most, so they make a "blind" choice, usually opting for what's closest to what they were taught at very young age, by parents and other authority figures.
Let's face it - to most people both science and religion are forms of arcane magic. It's no coincidence that raising levels of education and scientific literacy result in decline of religion.
