Richard Dawkins Faith In Memes Is As Blind As A Christian's to God
#81
RE: Richard Dawkins Faith In Memes Is As Blind As A Christian's to God
Surely it is blatant that, despite the fact that we are biologically coded to believe in a god, that god indeed is a meme. The very fact that there are so many religions, and so many people around the world believe in a religion of some description shows that biologically, yes, we probably do want a god, but also, as there are so many religions, they must be memes also. Otherwise, how would you explain different cultures taking on different views in religion? Surely these views have been passed down via oral tradition or through culture?

I'm not sure whether I'm barking up the wrong tree, but it seems to me that this is evidence.
