Evolution's reason for God
#1
Evolution's reason for God
So we here believe in evolution. However, what evolution advantage gave rise to God in the first place, and why did evolution select it to pulmugate(sp) until the far great majority of humans in the world believe in at least 1 religion(>80%).

We all know too that religion is not merely a theory: People are willing and have died for it, others have devoted their entire existence to it.

Scientifict tests have also shown that when buddhist monks or christians go deep into prayer, their brains show an altered state.

Many Christians feel they talk to God too, via prayer.

It is not merely a theory, but something in their brain and hence, genes.

I know also of people,who, despite having no idea what Evolution is, and despite having no explanation of how the universe popped into being, refused to believe in any religion.



I have thought over a long time but cannot really think of much or perhaps any reason why evolution choose god. If there is any factors, a believe in god is an Evolution DISadvantage.

Typically, God believing cultures devote much time and significant resources to things which does not contribute to passing of the gene. Eg. the time spent praying and worshipping can be used for getting more food or mating.

In ancient cultures..Look at the resources spent getting the pyramids up. I have no idea how this contributes to spreading their genes.

I do not even need to mention that somehow, many forms of religion have rules AGAINST rampant proceating.

Hence why does 'God'flourish so much? Why Evolution pick God to flourish? Why hasn't evolution wiped out God, by wiping out cultures which wasted precious resources as compared to other cultures which did not waste them on God? I have not much idea.
