What is really the root of religion is it faith or is it an evolution process that our ancestor use to survive
humans work in packs or community because a pecking order based on strength and dominance has been established. When our ape like ancestor gradually became more intelligent individual can rationally begin to question the power of the leader. Intelligence by it nature, questions authority by reason, and hence could be dangerous, dissipative force on that community. individual will leave the tribes, and that tribe would fall apar, and eventually individuals would die so, a selection pressure was place on intelligent apes to suspend reason and blindly obey the leader and his myth, since doing other wise would challange the tribes cohesion. survival favored the intelligent ape who could reason rationally about tools and food gathering but also favored the one who could suspend that reason when it threatened the tribe integrity. A mythology was needed to define and preserve the tribe. Religion was a powerful tool that “glue” and held together the tribe. Religion is a genetic disorder

Serious question about Apophis and potential worldwide destruction.?
In 2004, NASA scientists discovered an asteroid they labeled 2004 MN4. It was later renamed “Apophis”. It’s trajectory was calculated, and was determined that the rock will make a near earth pass on April 13, 2029 (oddly that’s a Friday the 13th). It was said that if it passes close enough, that the Earth’s gravity would alter its trajectory enough to cause a collision with the earth 7 years later. While it was determined to be not as big as the dinosaur killer, it would still cause significant damage to the earth and potentially wipe out millions of people in the process. (you can check for yourself on Space.com, or the History channel, or Astronomy.com, or Wikipedia) Even though the probablility is low that an impact will take place, how would it affect your faith if you were told that an asteroid such as this was on course to hit the earth? For believers and atheists alike, what kind of things would you do before the event took place, if you knew it was going to happen?
I maintain that this is not a doomsday theory presented by uninformed bloggers or journalists. This is an actual asteroid reported by NASA scientists, and confirmed by other independent astronomers throughout the world.

are there honestly people out there who truly believe that they know when the world is supposed to end?
I mean come one… I read a posted question about someone saying stuff about our solar system will collapse and a cosmic wind will blow us all away in 2012? If you are saved and have faith and believe in the bible you would know that it says “not even the angels in heaven know when the end of the world is”. I think this world and all the technology in it has corrupted christians into thinking that man has all the answers
