Everything the Torah, Bible or the Quran says about the Earth in relation to the rest of the cosmos is flat Earth cosmology from the Iron Age, so they couldn’t have been written or given or dictated by any gods or angels because they would have known better. We have sufficient evidence in science to prove that Adam and Eve are genetically impossible and were not real people. The global population cannot have been derived from a single couple, not six thousand years ago, nor even 600,000 years ago. We descend from a particular population of apes numbering several thousand strong at least, who set out on the road to our lineage at least a few million years ago. To be clear, this is a matter of objectively demonstrable scientific facts, not assumptions. Physical anthropologists and paleo primatologists can show how humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestry is an objectively verifiable fact in the absolute sense that it doesn’t change, meaning that it will not be corrected by new information. It’s not just a probability; it’s a certainty. Then we have the problems in the sacred texts that show god to be capricious, evil, jealous and motivated by revenge, not to mention promoting slavery and inequality. In this, the Information Age, any enquiring mind can research what they were taught when they were children and had impressionable minds. We all managed to escape the belief in Santa Claus, but why not god? That single fact says more about those who still believe (and what it says is not good) than those who have researched and rationalised the whole situation. I watched a video of an Imam who when discussing where Sperm comes from insists that science must be wrong and the Quran must be right. It amuses me greatly that people can discount science so easily and belief in magic.
