       Just because millions of people believe it, that doesn't make it true.   
   Just like global warming.

       That means nothing in regards to the actual existence of a god.  Just   
   one man's ignorant musings.

       Why should anybody be surprised that astronauts can read?  Doesn't mean   
   that what they read is truth.

       So much more difficult to understand than trusting in some imaginery   
   entity that created everything out of nothing.

       There are no facts that prove the existence of some supernatural being.   
   Believing that is just utter nonsense.
