Your examples to try to make hardcore newb look dumb actually sort of make you look dumb. Buildings and food are not living organisms so they will never in millions of years be able to build themselves or cook themselves.

I think the belief in god is a by-product of our powerful brains. Humans are so smart that they are able to stop and think "what am I doing here? What is this for?" No other animal (as far as I know) has this ability. They all just live and keep on living.

I think this is the same reason only humans commit suicide. Our brains can comprehend what life is to the point that we realize we don't have to live, and we don't have to push forward. Animals, who act mostly on instincts and cannot think about their lives introspectively don't realize this. All they know is that they are alive and they want to stay that way.

So when humans need a way to explain why we are here and how we are here, the idea of an all powerful god who created us seems to answer those questions fairly easily.
Palerider seems to have a grudge with everyone that disagrees with him on anything, i honestly don't even bother reading his posts anymore.

I did read it in the quote tho, and i was amusing.

Food can't cook itself? Ever heard of a fire? An animal just needs to be dead and near fire to cook itself, maybe even alive.

Dwellings exist naturally as well (caves)

And catapults even exist in nature, by chance. Do I expect to see houses build themselves? No. But if we live in an infinite universe, then of course it's possible. If you disagree, then you have no understanding of what the word infinite means.

name 1 thing that man has not touched that has advanced humans foward in anyway??
how can something "advance" humankind if we don't touch or use it?
