A lot of assumptions in this article!

Ockham's razor applied, Is it easier to see 'belief', morality and 'the need for purpose or meaning' as a byproduct of consciousness or to assume that it's there because some God made us?

How much morality is there in human beings anyway? We're really just herd animals, our so called morality is just a way to adapt to the herd. Strip away this thin layer of veneer and we're mean, cruel, selfish and extremely ignorant. Do I have to remind you of Rwanda, Cambodia, Germany (WWII) etc? Any idea how many woman worldwide are raped, abused, misused, beaten and killed every single day?

Is it trivial to assume there is a divine being that is able to fool around with atoms and molecules, without physical lab, and arrange, no program them in such an order that self replicating complex molecules i.e. life is created, all by itself, without years of study, research and knowledge others provided?

Is it trivial that this being has all the ingredients to do that in pure form without contamination?

Is it trivial to assume this being knows everything about every chemical element, how to use it (or to avoid it) in the life cycle of every living organism?

Is it trivial to assume this same being is able to create millions of creatures this way, all with DNA as complex as humans with 6.4 billion letters, creating a complex eco system almost overnight where all creatures depend upon for their survival?

Is it trivial to assume a being so smart that it can perform this within its lifetime?

Is it trivial to assume there is a living being that is not born, does not age and does not die?

Is it trivial to assume this being is everywhere and can use nature as it's lab without having shape or form?

Is it trivial to assume this being without shape or form can hear without ears, see without eyes, touch without hands and walk without feet?

Is it trivial to assume information and thus intelligence can exist without ordinary matter to store it in, can exist outside of space and time without getting lost or degenerated over time?

Is it trivial to assume a being that is omnipotent, creates everything and yet has no need to eat or sleep?

Life is so absurdly complex and the eco systems it depends upon so complex, fragile and vulnerable that it leaves no other possibility than that it took billions of years - almost forever - to evolve into what it is today.

And this is the evidence we can find in the fossil record. No need for an 'omnipotent yet bodyless being, eyeless, earless, handless and footless, not eating or sleeping, not bound to space and time and yet ageless'.

The Bible was written by people who in their total lack of knowledge about biology, chemistry and physics were totally fine with a creature that could model some figurine from the soil of the earth and breath life into it to make it a human being, but for people alive today - able to study biology, chemistry, physics and the universe there is absolutely no excuse to believe in a God.

Forget about multiverses and monkeys on typewriters - pseudoscience indeed. I'm with you on that one. But life, even the simplest life form is simply too complex to be created by one being. Try even to imagine if there is no manual available of how to start, no lab, no way of 'grabbing' single atoms or molecules, no prior information about how to program complex code of billions of letters with strings of only four letters... I think it's safe to say that all the programmers in all the world over the last 50 years or so combined have not even written that much code together. You need 6400 programmers each writing 1.000.000 letters of code to get to 6.400.000.000 letters. And writing is one thing but how do you test it? How do you test the code for a liver, a heart, a brain, an eye? It's insane!

And if programming RNA and DNA is complex, what about letting them reproduce itself. And how do you see God just 'made' human being, with each of us having approx. 37.2 trillion cells, all unique, all with our DNA of 6.4 billion letters in it. Not to mention all the bacteria in our guts.

You think it's far fetched to assume this all came about during billions of years but let us assume God can work really quick and add 100 cells to his 'human being to be' project every second. He would need some 11.732 years to finish his job! And we're talking here about one human, not about billions of creatures on this planet.

I could go on for hours, but I think I've made my point.
