CHAD CRAWFORD KINKLE'S FAITH OF THE FATHERS
Humanity has been gifted with a drive to create understanding and meaning. There is possibly even a biological mechanism behind that drive: One half of our brain records raw experience, while the other half draws lines around the elements, giving them borders and definition. This applies not just to concrete experiences but also abstract concepts, such as “What is beyond the stars?” or “Where did we come from?” Historically, whenever societies have formed, they sought to answer these harder, more abstract questions by creating a religion that is a reverential and a highly symbolic practice with a connection to an otherworldly source of power and wisdom.
