How can we be sure that all religions are wrong?

Double that. Read what you said

I am not sure if you understand what I was saying. Let me try and make it more clear.

We all have confirmation biases and we like to hear other information that supports our beliefs but we do not like to hear information that counters our belief.
We will try"unknowingly" at times to defend what we believe by finding more information that supports our belief and give little to no credit at all to other factual information that goes against our beliefs.

What are you saying? If you really do not have an interest in having your ears tickled you may want to ask Frank what his guess is about a god existing and why he would guess this way.

What about the people who do not "believe" it to be true...but who also do not "believe" that it is impossible?

This is now getting so twisted that a reasonable discussion is almost impossible.

I do not KNOW if gods exist. Do you?

I do not KNOW that no gods exist. Do you?

I have no problem with you making a guess...but if you do not KNOW...then it will be a guess. (If you do not KNOW.)

This is where I find a value in stats, I think by using statistical odds in the equation "do Gods exist" does seem to add value to the problem. Do not get me wrong because other forms of logical reasoning also have to be considered in the equation.

. . . Just... anything you can come up with. Just name something. A drangle, for instance. It's an entity that feeds on wi-fi signals, and that binds the internet together. Does this entity exist?

You could have asked me that, RL.

That would not have been as much fun. Did I ask the below question in a way that you could not give a good hypotheses?

Let me reword my question and see if you still respond the same.

If you really do not have an interest in having your ears tickled you may want to ask Frank what his guess is about the god of the bible existing and why he would guess this way.

I did not include my belief that natural law has an author.

You really don't have a clue, do you?

Frank! Were you tickling my ears or just stating your educated guess?

My best guess feelings about the Bible is that it is an self-serving history of the early Hebrew people...interspersed with a rather primitive, imaginative mythology.

Frank I do not think that you mean this as an attack on Christians Jews or Muslims but can you see how they might think they are being viewed in the same light as being rather primitive, and believing in imaginative mythologies because many of them think it is true and some of these people are quite educated in many fields.

I thought all along that you thought there was an author to all of this who's name is Jehovah. What I would like to know is why you would or would not think that something as intelligent as a god would not need a designer it self but yet you think that things less intelligent need a designer.

No, Please clue me in.

Not sure of the specific of your reference...but I am not much into tickling anyone's ears, so I would say "no" to that possibility. Probably I was stating a guess...although once again, I am not sure of what you are referring to.

KJV at Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Emphasis mine. The phrase "created all things" pretty much eliminates the idea of the need for a higher level designer. Of course, its just my belief, is all.

The question was (simplified) Does a god need a designer?. The answer was " the creator (designer) of all things would not/ could not. Sorry I introduced the bible; but consider your question answered
