When in history did atheism become the only choice?

This is not true. Thinking, rational people often get wrong answers to tricky questions, and there are still plenty of tricky questions concerning theism.

I'd like to recommend the silly focus on the "intelligence" of a person as a measure of his/her theories be herewith discarded. This is simply the logical fallacy of an appeal to authority (and a not very good one, at that!).

Any theories, arguments, etc. should be evaluated on their own merits, and the so-called "intelligence", "rationality", reputation and/or any other characteristics of their proponents should be regarded as irrelevant.

Thank you.

But 1000 years ago, we didn't have answers to a lot of simple questions. For example:

1. What are the sun and the stars?
2. Where did people come from?
3. How can we think and feel?
4. What is the world made of?
5. How did everything get here, all the elements, all the amazing diversity of life
6. What makes life tick? How is life different to non life? What is the life force that drives us?
7. Where does morality come from?
8. What happens when we die?

It's awesome that we still don't have an answer to a number of those questions.
