Jesus, Scooby Doo, where are you?

Everyone talks about how God, or as a matter of fact, every God, was born on Earth as an ‘Avatar’ whenever there was ‘evil gaining over good’ or ‘need of someone to re-establish dharma’. And everyone also talks about how morose today’s world has become, and how self-satisfying the system has become. So what, these international issues are not bad enough for the world, or that this age is different from the one thousand years ago, and not just because of Siri and Cortana?

So why exactly is there no new avatar of God coming down to help the humanity? As always, your favorite anti-believer has a thesis. 
Do you know the literacy rates of India, or of your country? The figure doesn’t matter right now, but all of us have noticed that it is increasing, somewhere fast, and somewhere real slow. So can we say it started from a very small number? (Hey hey, no offence to the countries and the population, okay?) If people weren’t able to comprehend what was happening even in front of them, they are bound to make assumptions. Some good and successful, and others developing a God. And then, rumors travel faster than the speed of light. Result, God is born.
So, in simple terms, God is nothing but a series of amplifications over the generations of illiteracy and inability to think logically. He was created to scare those who did not know how stuff happens in this world, so that they can use them to their advantage. Events like blasting volcanoes and shaking earthquakes and thunderstorms started to look like an effect of His anger.

Ending by a small note to educated believers: If we know how everything came into existence, what exactly is it that God does, or has done?
