Re: the relative importance of facts

Because the buck stopped with Monotheism, a premise also in alignment with science, math and logic.
Oh really? Since when do logic, math and science postulate the existence of an omnipotent entity that cannot be seen ,heard, touch, smelled or tasted or be shown to follow rigorously from first principles in a way that is compelling beyond reasonable rebuttal?

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
Albert Einstein

Re: the relative importance of facts

4000 years ago. For the first time, dieties which can be seen and heard by the senses were overturned.
Please show us where you have evidence of this.
Its a scientific premise: when one believes in a Creator - or any underlying control source, or even the lack of it - that source has to be, at least, transcendent of what is universe contained.
Why is this the case? Please clarify this statement. Thank you.
