“You didn’t say why it seems self evident to you from that experience that there can be no Creator.”

Because in the Abrahamic religions the universe is earth-centric. “Heretics” were burned at the stake for declaring that the Earth orbited the Sun.

That and the fact that the age of the Earth is set at around 6-7,000 years.

As I said previously it is nonsense. The creation story was a simple explanation to placate people who were by our modern day standards unintelligent and superstitious.

We’ve moved on from that. We shouldn’t in 2023 be believing Bible stories any more than we do Greek or Norse mythology.

Religious texts generally give finite explanations. We know that science is not finite and that we are learning and expanding our knowledge all the time.

Just don’t get why religion is still a thing.
