In 50 years we will be arguing about something else. The same as Galileo and his bros caught shit from the church. Now this is the next step. I mean people who believe in facts and science don't have an answer to some questions but they don't make something up. They are content saying "I don't know". The problem is people that simply can't accept "we just are because we are" are the ones that need faith or some sense of greater purpose which is what pulls them to faith. It is simply denial in the grandest sense.
People that point to god have a built in wild card. When challenged for proof they get to say "god, next question" When we have carbon dating and analysis that tells us the universe is 15 billion years (forgive me if im off im drinking grown up beverages) and fossils, DNA/RNA protein synthesis all of which is ignored in holy books we have enough science to try to learn and build knowledge. I mean people that actually study religion and philosophy (which is strangely most often people that aren't religious) see parallels from scripture that mimic needs or social policy of the times.
I find it peculiar that God had no problem possessing and talking to people throughout the times of scripture but is lacking recently. Unless you count the lady who drives her three children into a lake and kills them because God told her.....sounds similar to abraham but i digress.
Look back throughout history. Show me one instance where the church prevailed over free thinkers not bound to the notion that searching for answers is blasphemous in an obvious attempt to hold power, money and influence.
I get you people want to feel important but some we simply aren't meant for some higher purpose. Sorry, you will die, it will go black, and the world will forget you. The sooner you come to terms with it the better.
