Wow. Umm... really? Because I was pretty sure that punctuated equilibrium and phyletic gradualism were still the premier explanations. I would think mathematical proof of religion would be big news. Here is a hint: Just because something is unlikely does not mean it is impossible. In fact given the evidence that it did in fact happen you should conclude that no matter how unlikely it is... it happened!

Heh. I beg to differ. An explanation without precedent, verifiable evidence, or logical support does not make a "reasonable explanation". You don't see many intelligent people sitting down in labs considering theses concluding "Magic did it!"

The short answer includes this: Your brain works just like many other people's brains. Poorly.
Only through study and practice can you improve your thinking, and this involves providing proper evidence for your conclusions. This is *not* a simple lesson to learn, but it is crucial.

Right. I would suggest that someone pleasing themselves is better than someone making an imaginary communal friend and enslaving themselves to it. That is just me though.
