Is the mere passage of time a natural consequence? Not sure what you mean exactly. If so maybe I could bring up the Canaanites. This is where Judaism's god and then all forks afterwards like the failing upwards prophet Jesus (didn't fulfil prophecy at all) and forks of forks come from. Yahweh eventually morphed over time into monotheism. Henotheistic at one checkpoint. It's a messy non-linear timeline and I don't feel like writing a huge novel right now. The modern day Hebrew Bible itself contains butchered remnants of this evolution, with passages suggesting early Israelites worshipped multiple gods too at some point. So anyways their god was originally a minor god in a polytheistic religion where El was the god of gods with his consort the goddess Asherah. Calling her his wife is contested.
I marvel how people can take any of this seriously after just a casual read up on this basic history of their own so called gods. I consider it evidence against them.
