I honestly believe the only reason we still cling to archaic notions of religion and mythology due to our species relative ignorance of mechanics of nature. Our understanding of quantum mechanics and general relativity are still at its infancy. It has only been just over 100 years since general relativity was theoretically proposed by Einstein. Quantum mechanics in its current form is approximately 60 years old. Even general physics is in its infancy as the first major research into the mechanics of natural phenomenon started with Copernicus and Newton during the 18th century. Future concepts such as quantum computing, membrane theory, and curled dimensions will elicit the true fabric of nature.
before you say I most be ignorant in theology and eastern religions, my minor was in theology and second major was in eastern religions (bachelors of arts) (primary bachelors in physics). My doctorate is in biochemistry.
