THEISM

In simple terms, common sense was Homo sapiens’ need for gods. However, religion more than any other human paradigm shows how evil and wrong common sense can be. It is seldom congruent to reality. Why, therefore, does mysticism and theism, in the view of the vast majority of Homo sapiens, overpower science? Simple, it is based on childish common sense over a million years. This comic book approach to life continues unabated today in spite of the fact that never does any of that “common sense” conform to scientific reality.

On the other hand, the irrefutable laws of science are only believed by a very small percentage out of the billions of Homo sapiens on earth. In terms of cosmic time, it’s been but a blink of an eyelash since the majority of Homo sapiens no longer believe that the earth is the center of everything. Also, within that blink, virtually all Homo sapiens believe in creationism over evolution. The really surreal part is that within that same virtuality resides virtually all of the world’s leaders and thinkers! I ask you to consider the following statistics: a recent survey showed that 21% of the nations’ biology teachers believe in creationism. A Gallup Poll showed that 50% of the United States takes the story of Noah in the Bible literally. Thirty-two percent believe that Jesus will return to earth within the 21st Century. Seventy-eight percent believe that angels and devils operate within the world daily. Seventy-two percent believe in Satan. Forty-two percent of Americans believe that everything in the Bible is literally true.
