The first I heard of Richard Dawkin, I had been directed to a talk by Larry Krauss.
Then I linked to a talk they had together.
At one point, Dawkins was pointing to a table and saying. "This is a table!"
Well, it's not called a table in Norway, Ancient Greece or India.
How did so many ape civilizations from all over the Globe, separated by time and distance, come up with a belief in God? Yes, Richie, they had different Names, because there are different languages in the World. Vishnu, Thor, Apollo, Taiwo, Michael; it's absolutely scientifically astounding that nearly every ape species came up with basically, language, for one thing and a basic similar Notion about a Creator, for another. Some of the amazing similarities are totally beyond comprehension to a layman like myself and would require a great Biologist to explain.
It all seems very much the opposite to Darwin's conclusions, where every mountain has a different kind of turtle, finch and reptile. How did hundreds, or thousands, of disconnected animal species all, independently, develop language and similar beliefs, or was it observations, in a Pantheon?
Write a book on that, eh?
Can't blame it on the stars talking to them as the constellations were different.
What is the scientific explanation for that?
apes were such good survivalists they got to sit around the campfire and discovered 'talking' was a good pass time. They were still scared of beasties so they ALL made up a big man who was stronger, quite a COINCIDENCE
