It's pretty obvious when you think about it. Just look at human behavior the way it actually is for a minute. Remove all the pre-conceived explanations from your mind (like God. If you start with the assumption that God *must* be involved, you won't see it.)

Now ask yourself: why do people always look outside themselves for guidance, help, and answers? Obvious answer: that's what they've been trained to do since they drew their first breath.

That's only the most obvious answer if you start with the pre-conceived explanation like "there is nothing but what I can see."

Man-invented gods make sense, animals, super-men with anger management issues, the planet itself. The need to find something more takes a different explanation.

It's fine for you to have your narrative, of course. The author of the article told us that his narrative was his own belief, he didn't ask us to accept it as fact. You should not ask us to accept yours as fact either.

Because it's not obvious to me.

If you start with the assumption that God *must* be involved, you won't see it.

Conversely, if you start with the assumption that God *can't* be involved, you won't see Him.

Impeccable logic.

You will, of course, be raked over the coals.
