:::::: There is no plausible evolutionary explanation for religion. If, as atheists think, religion is foolish, than animals less intelligent than humans should display the reverence. They don't.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:06, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

:::::::Firstly, the reason there is no evolutionary explanation for religion is that evolutionary theory is a biological theory, it doesn't set out to explain the existence of religion at all. It sets out to explain the diversity of life on Earth. Secondly, you appear to equate evolutionary scientists with atheists. Many evolutionary scientists are Christians and they would dispute such a characterisation. Thirdly, people display a whole lot of foolish behaviours that animals do not. People smoke, gamble and watch daytime television. Animals do not. The reason animals do not do those things is that they have not developed cigarettes, slot machines or TV sets. Similarly, they have not developed advanced language sufficient to create religious doctrine and they have not developed building techniques sufficient to build churches, mosques, synagogues or temples of Athena. Accordingly, your point about the lack of animal reverence is a non-point. Can we remove the item now? --[[User:CecilQ|CecilQ]] 17:26, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
