Hey Samuel Thanks For The Request And Welcome To TA

The cruelty of mother nature is certainly in our face. And as emotional creatures we often times have a hard time absorbing the harsh realities of survival of the fittest. Evolution and natural selection are certainly indifferent to the plight of individual creatures. With the invention of supernatural agents humans discovered a way to cope with our world and appease our minds.

As a student you're probably swamped with reading assignments. When you get some spare time check out the book 'Religion Explained' by Pascal Boyer. It covers the evolutionary origins of religious thought. It will open you're eyes to many things about why people believe what they do. It also shoots down many of the common misconceptions about why people are inclined to be religious.

If you're not familiar with it "Addall.com" has a used book section that is an excellent source for finding books on the cheap. I rarely buy new books any more. Of course, you young up and comers are all in to the e-book scene now.....

Hi Samuel. Welcome aboard TA. We welcome all perspectives here and hope you can benefit from interacting with us.
