@jimdonegan And of course good ol' Lucretius argued that the gods _did_ exist, but they were completely irrelevant to human concerns.

Yup. Perhaps the most fantastically ill-formed concept ever.

Sorry, I meant in general, across time. Everyone had their own explanation for things and they don't necessarily come together to form a 'cumulative argument' as was suggested in the video.

@jimdonegan I am totally with you on that. As was said in another context, "The plural of anecdote is not data".

Lucretius actually had some decent things to say.
