This completely blows my mind. If biological life can go from chemicals floating in the ocean to beings,capable of launching rockets to other planets...
What will thoughts eventually become?
The scary part is looking at something like religion as a memetic organism. Its very good at reproducing, and once a population has been established its very good at surviving with defence mechanisms such as: "the evidence im seeing is a trick from the devil".
The only reason religious thought has fallen wayside is it has a tendency to weaken the host technologically. Which makes then easier to convert/overrun by less religious people.
But as a memetic organism, religion is an apex predator.
