"If we went to Mars and found there a computer, we wouldn't ever say that it popped up by accident. There had to be some creator of it. On the other hand, we have brains, which are much more complex than computers and we deny the existence of some creator."

I heard this anecdote during homily in church and honestly it perfectly describes how I think about God.

Again, that's not the valid answer. Who created God then?

Stop using God as a placeholder and be more humble.

The correct answer is "we don't know", but for sure today God is not a valid theory. No more than Spiderman, Batman or cosmic magical people from Andromeda.

That's right. And that is the moment when science has to give place to beliefs. Everyone can have different. Some poeple none at all. For a person who wants to find a bridge between science and religion, this model may be good.

>has to give place to beliefs.

Yeah, if everyone did that, we could be trying to fly the Ocean by praying. Or trying to cure plagues in the Middle Ages too, with the same bullshitery.

Hint: in didn't work. Once we threw that crap away, and began to properly was the hands, or develop the steam machine in the 1800s, with no "magic" in between, the progress and science development skyrocketed.
