How vain you are to think you know better than all the generations of ancestors that persevered through a life much harder than your's for you to exist.
Just read Plato or any other classic from 2000 years ago and you will know that we are no smarter today than they were back then.
IQ is genetic, so you are probably not smarter than your ancestors.
Whats more likely, that you have somehow discovered a new insight that they never noticed, or you are struggling with an issue that your ancestors persevered through for some reason that you don't yet know?
BTW doubt is a big part of being a Christian too. Just because some people use it as a blanket to cover difficult philosophical and moral questions doesn't mean there are not intelligent people who are Christians and have a consistent worldview. Otherwise, the same critique could be levelled at lazy atheists who say "nothing matters" rather than searching for truth (not saying you are in this camp as you are generally curious and not afraid to grapple with the issue.)
