    I think what does it for me, is that they can’t be all right at the same time. That implies, that atleast one is wrong.

      “All religions are true but none are literal.”
      “mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical.”

        I like this. I’m an agnostic and I read this book called “The God Theory” by Bernard Haisch. The author is a man of science and approaches this problem from a (semi) scientific perspective.

        Over the course of the book, he makes hypotheses and challenges them and eventually arrives at a theory that seems a workable explanation of the state of the world and religion in general.

        It’s a very interesting read and I would 100% recommend it. It’s been a while since I read it, but his theory at the end is not very different from your comment.
