> would have very deep existential implications. I doubt that. > It wouldn't definitely rule out a supreme being as the creator of the universe we live in Yes, that's exactly what the believers will tell you even then. Think about it: the science knows today that every atom in our bodies is either produced 13.8 billion years ago (is it is H2) or in the explosion of some star. It's true for every element that you learn in the chemistry class. We know that the Earth is 4.7 billion years old. And we already know that humans share 99% percent of the DNA with chimps. And that 0.006 billion years ago on the Earth neither humans nor chimps existed, but their common ancestor. Do people who believe in a "miracle" divine intervention that supposedly happened only some 0.000002 billion years ago (or even only 0.0000014 billion years ago) when only at that point their deity became involved with the believers, do these people in anyway feel affected by all that? No. Compared to what we know today, their religious "messages from the deity" obviously prove that they were written by plain humans of older times, because these messages don't contain any knowledge we have today, but instead the "eternal" truths like "at the end of the day the Sun sets in the muddy pond" or that the Earth's sky is a solid dome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament#Biblical_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament#Biblical_use Do the believers feel affected by that? No.
