| S.Peelman said: The only reason there is a religion (any), is because people back when they were invented couldn't come up with a better way to explain our existence. They didn't have science, they couldn't explain anything, they couldn't prove anything. In today's age, with numerous ways to prove all kinds of things, I don't see how the simple answer of 'something just made everything, for the fun of it', is in any way the most likely way to explain our existence. Let alone having to explain how that 'something' came into existence and gained self-concience itself in the first place. That said, I also don't believe mankind today has all the answers figured out, and we probably never will. For now, option 2 is by far the most likely, with a hint of option 3. |
Yup people are afraid of the unknown. And what better way to deal with that then create an entity that doesn't just explain things but watches over us aswell? I really think it's the ''watching over'' part that makes religion appeal to so many people, since it gives meaning to their lives and kind of paints a line of good and evil.
