Fairy tails are easy. Science is hard.

I agree with you completely.

I don’t believe in fairy tales in general or in alien conspiracy theories, the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, ghosts, fairies or in benevolent angels, unicorns or in any other vast number of other fantastical beings.

As for God, I’m somewhere between being an agnostic and an atheist.

But if I am inclined to believe in a God, I find more proof of God in the beauty and vast complexity of science than I do in the literal and often biased and uniformed personal interpretation of scripture. Religious scriptures, the great moral teachings found in common among the many of the major religions, in my opinion, hold many great and common truths about how to live our lives in a moral context and not necessarily the mechanics of how life and the world around us works.

Do not accept any of my words on faith,
Believing them just because I said them.
Be like an analyst buying gold, who cuts, burns,
And critically examines his product for authenticity.
Only accept what passes the test
By proving useful and beneficial in your life.
- The Buddha

Please humor me while I quote some scripture:

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. - Romans 1:20-25
