Keywords: God

Summary

In our common experience, we don't perceive God; history is not influenced by any kind of providence, but is the result of human actions; nature is indifferent, with failures (species that have disappeared without descendants, bushy development, etc.). To support the idea of God, religions offer only uncertain reasoning, irrational "faith" (which contradicts the faith of other religions) or subjective, more or less illusory experiences (mystical experiences). The hypothesis of God is therefore gratuitous.
