  6.  Mendoza Juan  So I guess Adam and Eve are real people then? And Noah fit millions of species on his tiny little ark during a flood that couldn't possibly have happened in that time frame? And the reason we have different languages is because some magical sky-fairy destroyed a tower and dispersed peoples all over the world? Do these sound like realistic historical explanations to you? No, it sounds like a bad attempt to explain why things are the way they are. The Bible isn't scientific at all. The creatures weren't "designed," they evolved by natural selection. If you want to use your lame "god of the gaps" argument to suggest that because we currently are incapable of grasping quantum physics, that's your prerogative. But every scientist worth his salt is going to laugh at you, because if the last 500 years has proven anything it's that science is figuring more things out all the time and that your "god" is running out of places to hide. Even questions we aren't capable of answering, such as the origin of the universe, will not at all provide any evidence for any particular religion. Because who's to say that Yahweh didn't create the universe as opposed to the Trinity, or Allah, or Zeus or Baal or Oden or Ra or Brahma? Other people have claimed to have "revelations" besides Jesus so I'm not at all impressed with the Christian religion. Nor do I buy the story that he is the "son" of some almighty being that sits outside the observable universe watching everyone's actions and answering all their prayers. Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that organized religion is entirely fabricated and survived because it provided an evolutionary advantage and psychological comfort. The idea of a multiverse is much more probable than a grand dial-tuner who we can't define or apply any limits to, or even explain the existence of. It's pure speculation, and poor one at that. At least a multiverse can be explained through naturalistic means. The idea of a creator a) has no evidence supporting it, b) is unknowable by its very nature because it is not bound by physical limitations like everything else in this universe, and c) ultimately explains nothing because we can't explain the existence of such a being. Instead of being unable to explain the existence of the universe, we are instead unable to explain the existence of God. Combined with the fact that this deity is filled with logical contradictions (it can't be omnipotent and benevolent because of the problem of evil, nor can it be omniscient and omnipotent because it lacks the power to change the future, nor can it be perfect and omnipotent because children die of cancer), this "explanation" for the universe gets you absolutely nowhere. The default stance, therefore, is atheism; and that's where I am. I hope you'll join me.
