My brain is a stand alone version of the most complex thing in the known universe. It is one of billions that make up humanity. Humanity more or less classes the brain as a computer, and lots of these computers independently and through a myriad of experiences called life come to the conclusion that there is a God. More people - brains - computers come to the answer 'God' than those that come to the answer 'no God'.
Popularity in no way makes 'right'. In fact mass human gatherings can have the opposite effect causing downright delusional viewpoints.
In 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, an estimated 30,000 to 100,000 individuals 'saw the sun tear from its position in the sky and come zigzagging and hurtling towards Earth'.

It is patently absurd that this could have happened in reality - for one thing all life on Earth would have been destroyed by such cataclysmic orbital shenanigans. But it is hard to understand how up to 100,000 people were all wrong at the same time - a 100,000 'computers of the most advanced sort in the universe' - all interconnected in Fatima.....and yet all wrong.
Seems like the popular vote isn't reliable after all.....
