I watched a program that's shown on BBC in the early hours called hard talk. The guest was Professor Richard Dawkins. He was asked this very profound question. (wording may not be exact, I'm paraphrasing from memory) "If as you say, our brains and thought pattern's are the result of Darwinian evolution, subject only to the laws of natural selection, that we have evolved from various primitive pre human species into modern man, that our concept of morality and society is based on Darwinian utility, then surely if religion is a myth, the laws of evolution would have reasoned and evolved such foolish thinking out of our modern psyche? How then do you explain that at no time in human history have there been more Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindu's and people of other faiths than at this present time, when human understanding and knowledge is at its highest ever?"
Well, Dawkins looked positively shaken by this concept, and his answer......"You would have to put that question to a Psychologist, I'm a biologist."
Sure does punch a big hole in the atheistic hypotheses, they argue we are evolving, more advanced with each generation, yet more of us believe in a God than at any other time in history.
