He talks about god as if he could only be included in science. If god exists, perhaps it's out of science's reach? Science after all can't go any further than human perception.
Just pure assumption really..
Instead of thinking there might be a predator in the bush, we also think there could be fruit up the tree, water supply in that mountain. We've evolved to be optimistic and pessimistic!
Utility of religion was a sociological tool to overcome tribal boundries. its another way to create group think. religion injects moral rules as a guise of sociological necessity. but if religion disappeared we would still be a strong society with morals as they are necessary to get along anyway. besides if you honestly believe a man lived in a fish belly for 3 days or Samson had super powers until his hair is cut then youre a dimwitted fucktard and maybe you just keep to yourself and stay in the back of the class so the rest of us can try and help humanity progress.
Lost all credibility when he said "right wing nut"
