I don't know how religion could ever be eliminated from human need. We live in an incredible age of scientific enlightenment. The James Webb telescope now points the guess towards a universe of two trillion galaxies. I can't even begin to fathom the scale of our own galaxy. NP's voiceover at the beginning of the Exit video mentions the "what if" question. Despite our huge advancements in knowledge I don't think mankind will ever even scratch the surface of the mysteries we are a part of. Thinking about it this should be in the thread prior to this but I suppose it's all part and parcel of the same question to which there is no real answer. That's the reason I never argue with people about faith. Bizarrely, only the faithful might be able to win such an argument one day.
