Re: Why should God be any more believable than the Tooth Fairy?
Existence is a Mystery. The nature of existence and our place in it is a Mystery. Science cannot explain this Mystery. But people want to grasp some understanding of it anyway. So they meditate on the Mystery and in looking for the Source of it they often come to conceptualize what they call "God". "God" is a Mystery word that incorporates a Faith that resonates with validity for them.
The tooth fairy is something entirely different. You may not understand this process, and in your lack of understanding you may choose to belittle it. Nevertheless, the evidence is it happens for people. Why does it happen? Is there any validity to it? Who knows. But you can't conclude from your place of Not Knowing that it is equivalent to belief in the tooth fairy.
