God and gorillas
Anthropologist Barbara J. King explains what our distant cousins can tell us about religion and why it's OK for scientists to believe in God.
By Steve Paulson [2007-01-31]

  • Fine, get rid of Religion. Then what?

    So in some imagined atheistic utopia, we would all be free from the shackles of organized religion and unscientific superstition and dogma. Yippie! Let's party like it's 1999.

    But then what? What will people believe in then? What will they live for? How will they live? Or, to go down the path of nihilism, why should they even live at all? To answer these questions, they will talk and form ideas and opinions and influence each other and write books and form organizations and ... oops! Darn it, we will have religion all over again!

    Sisyphus laughs...
