I get the impression that many atheists think that God is a crutch that man has used for thousands of years. That God is only a crutch. In light of our awareness vis a vis science, this crutch is no longer needed.

Although I can understand this thinking, I disagree with it. First, because I think that many over state or assume that we know so much about the way of all the world. From my perspective we know so little. We are babies in what we know of the Universe. This is not to say that because we know so little that we still need that crutch of a God. It just seems to me that there is a big jump from our modern perceptions to no God.

I don’t see that God is a crutch, so I come from a different starting point.
