No. Mind-boggling , that's what it is, excuse my rambling, that's another thread isn't it?
exactly. People invented gods as a way of explaining things they couldn't understand.
Whereas as our knowledge and science and understanding of the universe progressed, gods no longer are an explanation for anything.
Instead gods are something that themselves need an insurmountable amount of explaining.
Why bother i say? We invented them in the first place!
There are gaps in our knowledge but there is no need to fill those gaps with gods. It's enough to say "we don't know, but we are trying to find out, and are sure that the only way to find out truth is through scientific methods".
