To say that we have evolved to worshipping religion is preposterous and I still would like to see this scientific data that says our brains are designed to worship Gods. If it is true, and i wont refute it as I do consider myself open-minded, then it's definitely a flaw in our genetic make up because you DONT see other animals worshipping idols. Not ever. In some ways, if it is true that we have brains that can only think that way, it's further proof that religion and Gods are wrong....because Romans, Ancient Greeks, Norsemen, Egyptians, Aztecs all had their belief systems and who is to say their claims are any less credible than the three major Abrahamic religions of today?
It's further proof that religion is a falacy and a means for our species to cope with and understand the environment around it.
Looking over what ive written, I could almost be inclined to believe it is true that our brains do operate like this. I initially dismissed this on the grounds of no other animal acting like this, but because no animal does, surely then it is a very fundamental flaw that needs to be weeded out of our gene pool.
