From that line alone, you will know that if you deprive man from an explanation, he will resort to theories that doesn't conform to reason; just for the sake of satisfying their need for an explanation. A day ago, I watched the movie Agora, which speaks about those christians whom I despise most. Their argument was that:
If the earth was round, why don't the people in the bottom part fall off? If it is moving, why are we not affected?
Well, we can't blame them, they lacked the knowledge; they know not a thing about the gravity, much more the advanced laws of physics. Why then we as civilized men, still hold to their argument? The empirical data that we have gathered and learned obviously contradicts with their arguments, which follows that the theory that they made out of that argument is false -- in other words, god is dis-proven.
The second belief system that I'm going to talk to you about is the part where men are too afraid to face what is not known to them and they do their best to stick to what is good. The belief system of christianity basically works like this; men are too afraid to live a life without their 'fatherly-omnipotent-they-say-being'; men can't do about their problems without seeking advice from a silent being; men can't withstand problems too great for them; so they resort to their only possible defense, religion.
The fact that man can't fully explain everything doesn't logically lead us that a supernatural being does exist, it just means that we lack information; if, then, that our stupidity is our basis for god, god may be whimsical then?
A christian may be thinking this line while reading this: "But our feelings, you can't understand it". Are you telling me, then, that our feelings are your basis for your argument; if so, then what if I'll tell you that god is nothing but a product of stupid-man's ideas, does that make me any more correct than you are?
