this makes religion obsolete/incorrect.
You're still trying to prove something that can't be proven,
Or are saying because you can't prove FAITH, faith is wrong.
Here's the problem with your logic:
You act upon proof and say that such a thing is required for you to BELIEVE.
That goes against the purposes of religion/spiritualism, because they all require a BELIEF
in a system you don't/can't fully understand, which inevitably requires faith
in the unseen.
That doesn't (by any means) equate to being an atheist is the more logical decision,
that just means you don't have faith in anything that you can't see.
Let's take "reality" for example. You may not UNDERSTAND how gravitons work, because
we're still trying to grasp that concept, and work with them on a subatomic level.
But you have FAITH that they exist, and they'll explain a lot of things that you can't understand.
Same thing with religion, and "God". People wonder why things they don't understand/can't logically figure out
(Because of a logical impossibility or otherwise) are the way they are, so they assume there must be someone
with a higher understanding.
Some people even deduce that that person is Omnipotent/Omnipresent, which would explain the idea behind creationism.
