If every person on earth believed in the supernatural(i.e Deities, Gods), Science wouldn't exist. The Earth would still be flat. Let alone exploring Mars and interstellar space.

isn't the whole purpose of Science to basically attract the opposite sex?

the etymology of god is similar to guard (meaning someone who's in charge).

Science isn't interested in proving that God doesn't exist. Religion is not a factor in any of sciences many disciplines. Science has, quite by accident, shown that a God was not necessary for the creation of the universe and the creation of all life on the planet. If a God is not necessary than it follows it is not necessary to believe in one. Correct?

Except the below premise is not true - except in the minds of those who already take or wish to take that position.

Actually it is true.

Back in ancient times, when people started believing in deities, they had no comprehension of how the world around them could possibly have come about without something creating it.

Now however, science has shown that there are many possible ways that the universe could have come about without involving a god or creator. Note the "not necessary" in the statement.

I don't know what would science eventually have to do with religion, besides some psychology studies, as religion is as far as i know about beliefs. Some miracles might happen, but mostly religion part of them happen afterwards, and many of them can be explained properly. What goes for "ancient books", we might find hilarious what our today media production would be considered in few thounsand years

According to Lawrence Krauss and quantum mechanics the universe can spontaneously be created from NOTHING (nothing at all) and it simply doesnt need a creator...

Now of course those are difficult things to grasp and many will argue that well, in order for quantum mechanics to work something/someone needs to make the laws of physics so there was something before nothing and who created that something and so on...

So its quite personal but only at that level. Bullshit stories from ancient books should not be given much respect especially when they try to regulate how humans should act and most times by doing it totally wrong...

It's certainly not necessary to believe in a god (if that was so, then all the atheists would vaporize in a cloud of fire and brimstone!). However sadly some people think that if you don't believe, then you are somehow pitiful and not as enlightened as they are. Of course some god-believers couldn't care less whether others believe or not. It's the ones on their high horse which get under my skin.
