"Only if you considered them gods in a divine sense, rather than mutants or aliens or just general supermen. I don’t think that one makes the other less credible." Sure but when you guys have published story where Reed Richards goes to Heaven to get Ben Grimm's Soul back I don't think he should be declaring there is no god, heaven/hell, or souls. The common man on the street may not have evidence of divinity but the Heroes of the MU certainly have a ton of it
Well, not necessarily. In the story you’re referring to, Reed and the family used a machine to travel to another realm to find and rescue Ben, in which they encountered a phenomenally powerful cosmic being. That’s not divinity necessarily, that’s like a trip to the Negative Zone–it’s a journey undertaken by scientific means to reach an unknown plane of existence. I don’t think that necessarily would make Reed more likely to believe in divinity, but rather in one more avenue of science and existence that he doesn’t fully understand yet.
