That's pretty much why I am not convinced. The whole idea of a god was started by religions. It's only by chance that we exist in a time with different religions. If we were living, say 100,000 years ago when all we worried about was surviving and not worshiping, would we be debating this? I don't think so. I think the whole idea of a god is just a trend that's been going on since religion has been around. Why in the billion years that life has existed on this planet is god suddenly a topic in the past 10k years?
