| I see it as your typical paradox. We cannot answer the question who created man, so many are upset by it. So we invent God to explain where man came from, which satisfied us when we were savages with not enough time to think much about it. Then we got a little more organized, and had a little more time to think, so religion was born to make the issue complex enough to make people not have the time to see through the additional layers of smoke. The trend continues. The more organized man gets the more complex he has to make religion, to keep the average man from realizing that no matter how deep the smoke the original question was never actually answered... |
