Neither will religion. It is very arrogant of any ideology to pretend it can explain things it can't.
Depends on which religion. It's a fallacy to group all religions under a single umbrella called "religion", no such thing exists.

Only theists conceive of God as an essential element and thereby perceive a god shaped hole in atheists world view? What religion does your cat practice for example? Nature is like gravity it is a label we attach to things in order to communicate about some aspect of our mental models of the universe we share or imagine we share sufficiently to communicate theories about the underlying thing those models point to. It…
>neither of our experiences is a lie and you definitely do not understand mine or any other alike. They're not talking about personal experiences, they're talking about objective truth, and of those there's only one.

You can create a list of religions that don't try to explain things with superstitions, and then we can discuss them one by one.

Islam passes with flying colors because it isn't superstitious.

Sure, I’m alluding more towards, for example, the existence of hydrogen itself versus the beginning of life on earth which comes much later.
Why would you need to go back to the formation of matter to understand how life formed billions of years later?

Because the existent of hydrogen might be more unlikely than the existence of the resulting life.
adults average 2-4 colds per year; kids even more so (6-8) Think about all the natural immunity we squandered by locking everyone down.....not only did we miss out on herd immunity, but now it seems that even the common cold would've acted as a defense system experts are to be doubted. always. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold
3yo account whose only comment urges people to doubt the experts? Not sure I understand how that happens....seems suspicious.
some of these fucking people are so damn insufferable nuke my account into oblivion please.
seriously, if all you can do is muster up an ad-hominen attack on my fucking account ("HUR DUR ONLY 1 COMMENT AND HE'S DOUBTING EXPERTS!! CAN YOU BELIEVE!! OMG SO SUS") and instead of simply looking up what I said, you are a fucking braindead moron.
99.9% of people just lurk you fucking asshole. Jesus fucking Christ not all of us can have 10000 karma points like you on a fucking Internet forum.

>all the natural immunity we squandered by locking everyone down especially when it comes to children. It has already been established that the too sanitized modern existence leads to increase of allergies/autoimmunes/etc. Now the lockdowns and masks (which judging by the numbers haven't so far helped much with Covid) denied to children the early immune system "cross-pollination" of kinder-gardens/schools/etc. , thus…

> It has already been established that the too sanitized modern existence leads to increase of allergies/autoimmunes/etc. This is called the Hygiene Hypothesis and it has not been established in the sense of having been empirically demonstrated and widely confirmed. It's still a theory with proponents and critics.
I think this is separate, though - we're talking about an individual illness (common cold) driving out another individual illness (covid-19). Not so much to do with general hygiene than it is to do with specific bio-interactions between viruses.
