That as humans, we only think we’re smart because we don’t have another race to compare ourselves to. In the grand scheme of things, humans have not been around for very long. We’ve accomplished a lot but this is just the birth of our existence. Just 200 years ago, scientists believed that the earth was the center of the entire universe. Today, scientists feel like there cannot be a god because of what we currently know. Will this belief change in 200 years from now? How about 2,000,000 years from now? The point is, it’s just as ignorant to say there isn’t a god because you cannot prove the absence of one. There may not be a god in the traditional sense of a man sitting on a throne behind pearly gates. However, it’s extremely likely that there’s something bigger than all of us that is so far beyond our comprehension. Take the ancient civilizations for instance. If you traveled back in time and tried teaching neuroscience to the mayans, they wouldn’t possibly be able to comprehend it. The same principle could be likely for a “god”
