I think the problem is you can always rationalize for why something COULD exist if you really wanted to. So instead of looking at things and thinking "hey, this doesn't make sense and here's why" many religious people will try to find the most reasonable explanation that justifies their beliefs. It turns it into "hey, this doesn't make sense, but here's why it could." For example, I can say there's a monkey in my closet, I just can't find him because he's really good at hiding, can camouflage himself, and can even blink out of existence if he wanted to. If I don't acknowledge there's no way the monkey COULDN'T exist (he must be there!), then there has to be SOME explanation as to why I can't ever find him.

And to make things worse, when a reasonable explanation can't be found, they just say "God is beyond logic and reason" which is totally impossible to argue against.

Well the problem is there is no proof against god. As Stephen Hawking has said. All Science proves is that if god does exist he is rational, and doesn't do things randomly.

In other words he doesn't go, poof there's a camel, poof there's a duck, bang, now there is a shorter duck!

Basically if the world has a programmer, he's working off procedural software, not just randomly clip arting stuff in here and there.

Any scientist who actually tells you that their is proof that their is no god isn't a very good scientist and probably needs to go back to college for a refresher in lab courses.
