I’ve been reading and watching a fair amount by the late Christopher Hitchens and others arguing for atheism. A commonly brought up theme is that people are blindly following and refusing to give up their belief in books and notions of God and the world created by practically Stone Age people from thousands of years ago as opposed to the wisdom and and knowledge and truth of modern science, which seems to increasingly point to the natural origin of all things. However, have they forgotten the pyramids which were built thousands of years ago by these people.? We can’t build pyramids today because we don’t know how! So, we might want to hesitate a bit before giving short shrift to the words and ideas of people from thousands of years ago.
