thank-you.gif so much for chiming in, Meskhetyw!
And soz Sageous - even better - the Deists have a hard time (to say the least) justifying their god's existence anyway.
Great start for a book as well!

Nailler - no atheist will tell you they can prove there is no god, if they are worth their water - it only means we don't believe in god.
You can't prove a negative - and I really can't see how being an agnostic atheist would in some way be believing in absurd things.
Like somebody threw an asteroid to clean the basin, or came up with and let loose the methane spewing bacteria, which are now believed to have caused the Permian mass extinction - much, much worse than the asteroid could manage millions of years later.
I see what you mean, though - there is highly probably a connection between traits, which have helped us to survive and our receptiveness for religion - also dualism - check out Dawkins for some nice deliberations on that.
But we are bestowed with higher mental faculties, which enable us to emancipate us from this ballast.
