fr0d0 I don't see how my theory only applies to "nut job literalists" I am referring to religion in general. Mythology in my view is not mythology but rather it is religion in its infancy. Religion has not improved it has evolved with the times otherwise it would fallen away into obscurity. The whole god or gods beliefs are rooted in world mythology. The god of the gaps theory is just that, filling in the gaps of the unknown. God did it explains many things but then it also raises more questions than any religionist could ever hope to answer. Saying I don't know why god did X and Y but he does answers nothing and in my view is nothing more than a cop out.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
