Default How Religion Persists

I discovered this interesting article, and I say that this is proof positive that people will believe anything, even when there are obvious facts to the contrary. Please insert "and gods" after "UFO scares" at the end of the second paragraph.

Interesting, but not BCH material. The article seems to be Science and Skepticism material.

That is an interesting story. It is frightening how there are so many stupid people walking around on Earth. I am starting to think that Arik Soong from Star Trek Enterprise is correct in his assertion that humanity can stand to have some improvement.

Human beings are proof that there's no intelligent design to the universe.

Uh, weren't you the one in another thread claiming that atheism was basically evil and religion was good?
