Atheism: A Null Hypothesis on God

[MarkCharles]

20. I admire your attempt to compare earlier religious beliefs to ...

today's "god-fearing" people. At least that is how I read it.

One hundred years ago, we did not have a theory of relativity, something that few genuinely well-informed Jewish, Muslim, or Christian religious leaders would deny today. Nor did we have black holes, dark matter, nor a precise calculation of the speed of light, nor of the enormity of the universe, nor anyone who posited a big bang theory. Although, one hundred years ago, we did not have DNA, we did have Darwin's theory of evolution, and now we have evidence in all of these areas to dispute the teachings of all of those religions' mythologies about the origin of mankind, the origins and eventual end of our planet, none of which any serious scientist, nor any seriously intellectual follower of one religion or another will dispute.

As for the veracity or reasonable explanations of Jewish, Christian, or Muslim myths in their teachings, we have more evidence than ever that points to the illogical and mythical nature of all three religious beliefs.

And we have no evidence, even after so many tens of thousands of years of recorded history of humankind, no evidence whatsoever to indicate any god at all, only the mythologies of past and present people on this planet, all of them human, none of them inspired by anything but ignorance of what evidence is already out there.

Be it the bush people of central Africa today, or the most liberal Christian faiths of the civilized world, not one scintilla of evidence whatsoever to support their theories and mythologies.
