I really enjoyed this video by Richard Carrier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1955&v=NFGTu-OxFpU
He covers multiple subjects and compares predictions on the atheist hypothesis vs the god hypothesis.
Among other things, he mentions:
- how Judaism was influenced by Zoroastrianism, how the Jesus story is similar to Osiris, Adonis, Romulus, Zalmoxis, Inanna and Mithra.
- the similarities between the Abrahamic religions and compares to other religions and shows how absurd it is.
- the time scale for the evolving of life (what the hell was god doing for all those billions of years??).
So, did he get anything wrong?
EDIT:
The subject title was taken from the end of the clip where Carrier quotes Douglas Adams from the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy. The video does of course not disprove god...
