Have you ever read the bible? There's some crazy shit in there (no offense to bible lovers). Some things if true have no apparent scientific explanation. The logical conclusion that most come to, which is better supplied by historians than scientists, is that the stories in the bible aren't true, or, a more pc answer, that they're not literal. It's not so much that science can explain everything in the bible, it's more like science takes the wind out of the sails of the religion boat. I know that if the most learned man in my village(let's say some 600 years ago) presented the things in the bible as true, I'd be inclined to believe him. Subsequently, it would be hard for me to question the existence of god. That hurdle has been removed by science so now it's more like just one lap around the track without hurdles to get to atheism. (Two analogies I'm on fire!)
