Occam's razor. Bringing God into it simply adds another entity to the model, one we can more easily explain things without. Therefore the non-God model is more efficient and is best adopted until it makes less sense than the God model.
People who believe in the God model are roughly twice as crazy as those who believe in the non-God model.
Non-God model assumptions:
1) There's a load of complicated stuff. Look, there it is.
2) I guess it's just kind of.. there.
God-Model assumptions:
1) There's a load of complicated stuff. Look, there it is.
2) I guess something really really complicated must've made it.
3) But I guess the really really complicated thing was just sort of... there
4) And that it would, despite assumptions from outside the model that it is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving, still make something that such a being would not possibly make unless it was all irrational.
