I wish I knew how we came to be hard-wired for religion, because there has to be some hard-wiring involved, otherwise religious or magical beliefs wouldn't be so universal.
Thank you. I believe that it was Carl Sagan who first said, "Nature is under no obligation to conform to our expectations," but I can find no source for that quotation. It may have come from his TV series, Cosmos. Since many have played upon those words, I felt no compunction about adding my own twist.
