The god fantasy is a lazy excuse to not think and a cowardly excuse to deny reality.

Cowardly people invoke a loving god fairy who sends them to a magical paradise after a wasted lifetime of believing in bullshit.

Lazy people invoke the magical powers of their god fairy to solve scientific problems. Scientists would rather find out what really happened.

If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.
