Number one, let's just examine this logically for the moment. And really, let's not even bother with advanced science, because the religious side of the argument rarely does. Does it really make sense that in all the universe, an entity that is so large that is literally impossible to mathematically comprehend, of all the planets out there and all the species that could exist, does it really make sense that we are right? And let's assume that yes, humans are privy to some secret knowledge that no other planet in the entire universe has. Well, then which group is right? There are thousands of former and currently worshipped Gods on Earth. Any believer has decided, often for arbitrary reasons, to follow just a tiny handful and in most cases only ONE GOD. Of thousands upon thousands of different Gods, they believe in a particular one. And Atheism, well, we don't even necesarily say that yes, God cannot exist. Most of us do, but for those of us who are agnostic atheists, we leave the possibility open. Maybe, out of the uncountable planets in the universe, we are right. Maybe of all the religions, Christianity is right. But they are but a billion or so people on a planet of billions. This planet is one of trillions in our galaxy. And our galaxy is one of trillions if not quadrillions or more in the entire universe. And yet they still bet on those odds. And then have the audacity to call Atheists equally close-minded. No, we're not. We simply bet with the odds that are the most likely and seem to be backed up by historic performance, like anyone who examines the odds. Historically, every God up to the present day has been abandoned. Why not give up just one more?
