"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Wasn't there something about dummies/mannequins being hurled off a lorry and people panicking because they thought they were being raised up to heaven? Something like that anyway.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Aw, I so wanted that to be true. At least I didn't set the klaxon off and lose ten points, which is quite interesting.

Here you go. This series of short videos is the best I've found so far, that should answer your question. Aron Ra is a very intelligent man and a scientist who knows his field, but his videos are easy for a person of reasonable intelligence to understand.

I think any arguments to the contrary would just cement OP's position. Social psychology would support this phenomenon.
