RIGHT!
We all know that the majority rules. The majority is always right. It's basic scienticific statistical analysis.
It's how we govern. it's how we rule. Always have. Always will.

If one believes God did not create all; tell me where the first atom came from to split into two, to split into four, to split into eight,... and turning into all the different types of atoms that are now everywhere and everything and in their perfect forms too?

We have never ruled by a simple majority. Monarchies and other totalitarian gov'ts have been ruling the world since the formations of governments. Even the US of A isn't a real democracy, it is a republic in which representatives of the people make the decisions, not the people themselves.

Before Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system (1514) everyone believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth. You can "see it" so it must be true. Right?
WRONG.
Intensity, level, volume of belief (religious or otherwise)... these signify nothing by way of actual proof.

And perhaps someday after I've convinced the majority of the population that green gremlins live under their beds, then they will manifest into reality. Cuz, like, majority rules and stuff.

That's not how science works. If what the majority believes was accepted as the truth, we'd all still think the world was flat.

At one time almost the entire world believed the world was flat.
At one time most countries believed in witches.

Wrong! At one point, most people in the world, including the most educated men of their day, believed the world was flat....doesn't mean it's true, now does it?

500 years ago most people believed the plague was caused by "bad vapours". Does that mean that over the last 500 years the plague has gone from being caused by "bad vapours" to being caused by bacteria?

That isn't necessarily logical. But it is logical that since the universe exists, it must have had a source that is not part of it. That is a scientific necessity. Take it from there.

The majority once believed the world was flat and that mermaids and unicorns were real.
