What the favored novelist and playwright Kurt Vonnegut wrote right here is one interpretation of our want for faith, and I regard him as some of the astute observers of human civilization.
But I submit the the principal driver of faith is concern. People who find themselves afraid of dying, and even chaos, have to consider in a celestial huge brother to maintain them from hazard.
The remainder of us would like to stay in a universe that really is smart, and we settle for that, if that universe is detached to our well-being, because it most definitely seems to be, so be it.
