I would argue that a need to explain the unexplainable _is_ human nature and that religion provides those explanations. The more we are able to understand our universe, the less we will need the imaginary explanations provided by religion. Indeed, outside of the U.S. and less developed nations, the need for religion seems to be waning.
The degree to which the people of U.S. cling to religion baffles me. -- Doug _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
