What's #2 and on? Are there any other tangible things where God seems like a needed or likely explanation?
Or does it all come down to the guess that maybe billions of years ago, God created stuff seems like a good enough guess that you're all in on God, and while you're at it, why not all the soul/heaven/angels stuff too?
Doesn't it seem flimsy? If that domino falls, and some nerd explains the origins of the universe, would that be the end of it? Is there anything left?
People come to the place where they are willing to believe in God/supernatural for all kinds of reasons. Most are wired with something. Some are raised that way, some have events happen in their life (bad and good things), some encounter people who's testimony is compelling, and some read and find the person/message of Christ compelling. A further category of existential reasons would include purpose, meaning, value, morality etc.
