I explained this before but I noticed most people don't get it. Charles Darwin killed the god fantasy. This should be very easy to understand.
We know the diversity of life is explained by evolution by natural selection. We know Mr. God had nothing to do with it.
If something as complex as the development of new species did not require a god fairy's magical powers, it makes no sense to pretend the fairy was necessary for anything else.
For example the favorite hiding place for the god of the gaps is the beginning of the universe. People who know nothing about this branch of science have repeatedly said "Something can't come from nothing". How do they know that? There is not one scientist who thinks it was a magical event. Scientists don't invoke magic for anything.
In any case the beginning of the universe could not possibly be as complex as the development of millions of species. It's just wishful thinking to pretend Mr. God was necessary for anything.
To defend their god fantasy the god-soaked say their fairy was required to invent natural processes. That doesn't make sense. A good example is natural selection. If a creature has what it takes to become a grandparent then that creature's genes are passed on to future generations. If creatures don't have what it takes to survive and reproduce then their genes disappear. Nature works this way because it makes sense to work this way. It's ridiculous to pretend this natural process or any other natural process required an inventor.
Therefore according to what I just explained the god fairy never had anything to do. A fairy which was never necessary is a fairy that doesn't exist.
That's it. Some people won't understand because they're not too bright and/or they're insane.
We know the god fairy is not real therefore the world's moronic religious cults must be thrown out, including ridiculous fantasies like the Christian's magical resurrection of Jeebus and the Muslim's idea the moon was split in two pieces and then put back together again.
It's amazing how much insanity there is on this planet. The invention of Mr. God was the human race's greatest mistake.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
