Oh, well, I wasn't really addressing your question, but I will make a guess about it and that is that for some reason it makes people who are uncomfortable with uncertainty feel better about things they are uncertain of.

I suspect it has to do with the way their brains are set up. You know, just like we proved in the other trhead that people with short bodies can't reach tings that are high, I think that people who's brains can't handle uncertainty need to have faith.

But I don't know if that's true or not, but I suspect it is. Belief might be strong.

I didn't even understand the OP's question, so you've got me there.
