So glad i just happened to check the forum today, and just happen to have enough time to reply.
Mike you seem to be coming round to my way of thinking that evolution could possibly explain a reason for faith. I'm sure in one of my very early messages i gave a possible route for this. Cant remember which author i got it from tho. I think it basically runs along this route tho.
Man started off in smaller tribes, with one leader figure, that he would have had a personal relationsip with. Everyone in tribe knew each other, and the strongest, smartest etc was the leader. Now in our much larger society our leader figures are usually far removed from us, but we still have that need for a close leader figure, god seems to slip in quite nicely here. I definitly explained it better last time, but last time i was at home, not in nazca peru, sat in a little internet cafe.
For those that are interested things are still going well in s.america, and im home in about 3 weeks, will start posting regularly again around then.
