Reminds me of the saying: “Science flies us to the moon, religion flies us into buildings”.
Looks like science will help us defeat COVID-19, and not some “supposedly” omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent supernatural being (which has yet to be proven to exist by theists), even if we have to live with the coronavirus for the rest of our lives, like we do the cold and flu viruses.
No evidence for either. The fact that someone believes it, does not make it ‘real’ in any snese of the word. “Eric, the rainbow farting unicorn” is not real regardless of anyone’s belief. “Reality” defined as for all intent and purpose. The cosmos, after all, is a pretty big place.
