I mean many fundamental things about all mainstream monotheistic religions have been shown to be wrong by science. Shit like evolution is the most obvious example, but there are plenty of other things for people who hypocritically pick and choose what parts of the bible they believe.
For example, these Gods are supposed to occasionally respond to prayer. If you're sick, you pray, and if God feels like it he'll help. Take 500 sick people. Have half do no praying whatsoever, and have people pray for the other half. LOTS of people. Have entire congregations organized to pray for them. Guess what will happen? Sorry to spoil the ending, but these studies have been done to death: no effects.
There are lots of things these Gods promise. Like when a priest blesses something, it's looked favorably by God, and makes you healthy/wealthy/happy/whatever. All nonsense, all tested by science.
Science has also shown there's no such thing as the soul. Everything we do is just chemical reactions in the brain. Kind of throws a wrench in the whole free will and afterlife business.

Wow, my whole post flew completely over your head. You're exactly the type of agnostic I'm talking about.
Of course I've considered that some superior being created the universe, or that we're all living in a big computer, or dozens of other possibilities. The point is that these alternatives are all unfalsifiable; since we're stuck in the universe, these all predict the same physical results, so there's no difference between them. Saying one of the other is correct is nonsense; saying you believe or don't believe one is nonsense; and most importantly, saying you don't know which one is correct is also nonsense, because it's not a knowable thing.
