[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4461266, member: 63706"] There is utility in creating an explanation for the unexplained. When you run into something you don't understand it creates a level of anxiety because you don't know if it poses a threat. The fight or flight neuron circuit, which exists to help keep us alive, will continue to fire until there is a resolution about a determined threat level. Creating an explanation, even if it completely imaginary, allows you to move on with your life. The pitfall of this process is that these explanations can become dogmatic. People cling to these explanations, because if they are proven wrong without a sufficient replacement, the threat anxiety returns. We think of this as a primitive thought process, which it is, but it is still functioning in everyone. Some people are aware of it, and attempt to compensate accordingly. Others are not aware of it, and allow that circuit to take control in times of stress. That is one explanation for the creation of gods, but it does not preclude the existence of God. [/QUOTE]
