>>5009465>The problem is that they're mostly fucking retardedYou immediately prove that you don't understand. Science and religion aren't at odds. 99.9% of Christians today, for example, know that the Bible is stories about morals written in the past.
>mostly empty void hostile to all living things mainly populated by giant balls of gas and empty rocksThe rules of nature were created when the universe was created. So they believe that god created those rules, and we are observing the effects
>both omniscient and benevolent which is why he chooses to regularly sanction the existence of children with fucked up genetic defects...Do you know what utilitarianism is? Who's to say that the child wasn't born that way for a reason? To teach people a lesson about life? Maybe it was the next Hitler? You have no idea what could happen if these events didn't exist, so you go straight to "This is bad and that's that"
That's literally what faith is. Nobody can disprove god (any god) exists, and the point is that divine beings exist on another plane and know things that don't and won't make sense to any human trying to explain things with logic and observation of nature
