Lets say that no one ever knew about God, or how we got here (im not trying to offend anyone here, or saying this is true etc.) but do you think that we could go on w/o something to tell us how we got here. Which brings me to another point, what if someone just made all this religion stuff up? So, if from everyones brain, religion was erased, do you think we could go on w/o making something up, or discovering something new. Hey, i thought of something else, do you think that if there were more people focused on finding out how we got here (without God) would we find out?
Im trying not offend anyone by saying their religion is false, which i am doing, but nevermind this has no point... |

this is actually related to something i've thought about alot. the way i take what this, you're asking what would happen if no one had a religion, right?! well, if so, i think that religion is something that gives comfort to all those who believe, and a reason to live. plus, by human nature people are curious and without religion, we WOULD find some other way to describe the beginning of time. go as far back as you want, and there was always an explanation for unknown things, whether myth or truth. so basically what i'm saying is that people find comfort and day-to-day strength from religion and if we had no religion in our world today, we would just find another way to explain evolution.
