Humans are not as complex as you would like to believe. Sure, complex as hell, but not on a supernatural level. Just a chemical engine that we are getting to know more and more about as time goes by.
There has even been found in a region of the brain where if you zap it with a pulsed magnetic field of a certain pulse recurrence frequency and strength, it elicits the response of the people thinking there is a god present, in short, the religious center of the brain that can be artificially manipulated to make you think you are in the presence of supernatural entities. All thanks to those mere chemicals flying around inside your and everyone else's brain.

So is it that you and other atheists do not have this religious center in the brain? Or perhaps it has not been zapped to turn it on? Is that religious center the result of millions of years of evolution? If so, why should this be something that is necessary to our evolution? Maybe, it would be better if you could first explain how the DNA information language code got into a cell to keep it alive. Perhaps then we could accept your theories more readily.

Surely the "god present" would be a reflection/projection of the subjects pre-conceived notions of what a god would look like. What would an atheist see? a bunch of numbers 🙂

I wish you could explain how these chemical reactions are activated to produce morality in the brain. I know we learn morality from teachings like those in the Holy Bible; but unlike Atheists, I do not believe morality is a result of evolution.

What about morality 10,000 years ago? There was no bible then. Also, what about the morality of peoples who never heard of or saw the bible or a christian? What about their morality?

yes, we all know you believe morality is a result of some guy eating a fruit from a tree.

I doubt if we humans were around 10,000 years ago. But the early humans must have learned their morality from Adam and Eve.
