If and when we discover other intelligent civilizations in the universe it will be interesting to see if they have similar beliefs. The need for belief, if there really is one, probably arose in early man and continued for centuries as a way to try to explain the natural world that was pretty much a mystery in those times. I think the beliefs, such as they are, are taught, not genetic. I doubt if a newborn has any thoughts or feelings about a god and if he or she isn't exposed to the concept, I doubt such thoughts would arise spontaneously, especially in a society where much science of the natural world is known. |
