What is the basic argument that the evolutionary psychologist is making? What evidence does he cite as relevant to his theory? Do you agree or disagree with this hypothesis? (Provide a rational for your opinion). What are the larger implications of this work (if this theory is correct) on the large world religions? Are they simply social experiments run-amok or is there something more to supernatural beliefs that what is quantified in this study?
