Is Believing In God Evolutionarily Advantageous?
by Alix Spiegel…
In the history of the world, every culture in every location at every point in time has developed some supernatural belief system. And when a human behavior is so universal, scientists often argue that it must be an evolutionary adaptation along the lines of standing upright. That is, something so helpful that the people who had it thrived, and the people who didn’t slowly died out until we were all left with the trait. But what could be the evolutionary advantage of believing in God?

Greed seems pretty universal but you don’t see NPR or scientists talking about how maybe it’s a good thing people are so greedy they’re willing to exploit and even murder (sometimes indirectly) so they can obtain more money, things and power.
NPR even dignifying this question by repeating it is like asking the question “Is it evolutionarily advantageous to ignore the evidence staring you in the face?”
Obviously, imagination is a good thing, but so is a firm grasp on REALITY.
God is not REALITY and cannot be proven. SO, PLEASE, “reputable” “news” source NPR, STOP ENTERTAINING IRRATIONALITY.
This is why I don’t listen to you except for “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me.”
