(33,643 posts)Gods made you, and all the animals and plants. Gods made it rain or not rain, Gods made Thunder and Lightning. Gods made Fire. Gods made your crops grow. Gods decided whether your wife got pregnant. Gods caused your wife to miscarry. Gods made you sick. Gods made you well after being sick. Gods held up the Earth in the Cosmos. Gods pulled the sun across the sky.
Etc, Etc, Etc.
None of that was true, but we had to advance technologically to be able to show and understand ... why none of those things had a magic-based cause.
The overwhelming arc of history suggests that the tiny fraction of remaining subjects we still can't entirely explain ... and in some circles suppose to be a manifestation of the supernatural ... will eventually turn out to NOT have a magical source.
I side with the fairly simple math here, no offense
