Remember that unlike the atheists on this forum, I say that God was the more rational choice up to about 100 years ago.

I certainly don't disagree with this, though I'd probably push it back a little from 100 years. I'd be surprised if some of the other regular posters like Kid or Chez do.

I suspect DS will not be suprised that I disagree with this. My 'failure' to believe in god is not caused by anything that has happened in the last few hundred years.

It is simply not the case that there was evidence, to support a rational belief in god, that in recent years has been discredited. Rather there was never any evidence to support a rational belief in god.

Lack of an explanation is not a reason to believe an explanation that explains nothing.
