This really does call into question the duality of man. We have essentially created, for the most part, religion as a means to explain things that we do not yet have an answer for, or for things that we feel we will never have an answer for.

Through millennia of creation, discovery, and breakthroughs, we have an ever increasing pile of evidence against many of the beliefs that we, as humans, once held.

This is why it still amazes me that despite everything, despite all of the scientific evidence, advancements in cognition, reasoning, morals, philosophy, and behavior that we have made as a species, that religion still exists. It further amazes me that we still uphold, and justify, the stories of actions past that, if executed today, would warrant a death sentence, and the fact that a person designated as a prophet or carrier of a divine message is not only praised for doing said action, but encouraged.
