The problem is that we have 1000's of years of religious fervour that will not be de-programmed in just a couple of hundred years.
Because we had little or no scientific knowledge back then to explain why we were here and where did we come from, religion/faith was born.
Most people need a reason to be, and a destination after they die, because to fathom the end is just nothingness is a bitter pill to swallow.
Personally that's exactly how I think it is. I have no religion, and don't believe in an afterlife or reincarnation.
...and I'm not 'lost', in need of guidence, depressed, sad etc etc.
I'm perfectly fine!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
Evolution is the way to go!
