The Origin of Religions Revisited
ثبت نشده
چکیده
When we study the history of life, it easy to see that life has evolved over time. The fossils of creatures that lived before us faithfully record the innovations and changes leading to the diversity of life that we observe today. The history of religion is much shorter, yet it too has left a fossil record revealing some of the innovations and changes leading to the diversity of religions which now surround us. These histories are fairly clear in their lessons and would not even be debated but for one fact: the theory of evolution is deadly to religion. It is ironic that this should be so, because as this paper will show, religion may be responsible for humankind's fascination with the unraveling of mystery. However, religion may be a special case of mystery – religion depends on mystery and once the mystery is unraveled religion may not survive.
