    Fundamentally isn’t any religious belief in an omnipotent/world creating god creationist?

    Oh yeah. This isn’t a problem unique to Christianity.

    but the thing about essentially all religious belief is that its not exactly falsifiable

    I think the function of a belief system is to lessen fear in scary, doubtfull, uncertain, painfull situations. That’s when an unfalsifiable happy ending brings comfort.

    It’s just that many of them were invented quite a while ago, and some things that used to be unknown and scary then, are now better understood or obsolete. No point in engaging in makebelief for those.

      Yeah, but it seems like for a lot of people they either have to believe all of it or none of it
