This is an argument that can never be won. We continue to try because that's the way of people. We have the urge to prove something.
But, the fact of the matter is, some people think and solve problems algorithimically.
Others use more heuristic approaches to problem-solving. They tend to solve problems and search for answers
in a more non-linear fashion that transcends the ordinary step by step approach. People simply look at the universe
in one way or the other, and they will fall comfortably within that way of thinking that suits their mind's methods. If over
time, when their emotional trauma has subsided over the god/no god issue, they will settle into a way of thinking that fits them.
Some will always be atheists, and others will always believe in an Intelligent Higher Power. Some will flounder in between
until their emotional attachment to one or the other has subsided, then they will take a comfortable place on either side.
Also, another factor is the way people put things together. Some start with THE BIG PICTURE, then begin to take it apart
piece by piece to deduce their answer. Others begin with the pieces and put them together step by step to create THE BIG
PICTURE to find their answer. It's all in the way you put things together and take them apart. It's how you see the universe
in your own unique way. It's supposed to be this way. IMO, we are designed that way. Without opposing ideas and opposing
forces everything would be static. We would not strive to know anything. Nothing would progress toward whatever it is we are
progressing toward.
