Welcome Dasama, I think that religious ideas - ideas of "greater beings" was created to help early mankind make sense of the world he lived in. Prehistoric minds were not evolved or experienced enough to make or weild tools very well, let alone understand the mysterious forces causing light and dark, storm and flood, earthquake and hurricane... It only makes sense that as language evolved, so would the "story-telling" and "reasoning" behind these misunderstood and probably very frightening occurrences. Over time, stories passed down through generations, were elaborated upon, and as the minds evolved, so did the complexity of the "stories". Today, we have huge populations of supposedly "evolved" people still holding to these man-made fallacies as a source of comfort - which is understandable - but in the wake of human evolutionary and scientific advancements and proofs, it is difficult for people like me to comprehend why so many still do this. IMO, to remain in the fantasy is almost contradictory and crippling to CONTINUED evolution and of understanding the things our early ancestors sought to comprehend to begin with. Great topic!

hi designinglife, thanks for giving a thought to this topic which to me is of extreme importance in todays life and age..what your opinion reflects is the true evolution of any religion or sect...a group of people with a so called collective idealogy...but what i would like to point out is to the roots of it..the creative process or factors enabling this gross product..the very need which was felt..i donot know how far we are together on this..but sir..lets find out how the world went around this...??? sanjay..
