When God, in his infinite wisdom, created man, he did a pretty good job, although it took a while. He obviously paid special attention to our brains, that turn out to be different from all other animals.
Of particular note is the amazing ability of humans to ask the question “why?”, and that is where the trouble began.
We had to know why the sun is orange and hot, why the wind blows, why flowers bloom, thunder rocks our souls, etc. And the wise men of their day set out to find answers. At first they assigned names to all these events and attributed the events to things they call “gods” with all kinds of Greek sounding names.
Then science came along during the enlightenment and started finding explanations for many of these unnerving mysteries, and we felt better and dropped many of the god words.
