Is religion the origin of civilization?

This is what happens when people watch hollywood movies like jurassic park.
I think people were "chased around by dinosaurs" as much as people today are chased around by rhinos, lions and elephants. Its very logical to assume that dinosaurs acted like every other animal on this planet. When they see a group of humans, they rarely bother them. Its also a safe bet that humans stayed pretty far away from known dinosaur feeding grounds and trails. I mean most people dont live near lions dens today or elephants trails, right? How many of you have ever seen a wild rhino, elephant or lion? Probably back then it was just as rare to see a dinosaur out in the open. You really dont see wild animals unless you are going out looking for them.
... are you fucking with us?

no he believes it. you have actually spotted a real earth is 6000 years old man lived with dinosaurs creationist. its quite a find. we are privilaged to have one of those nutcases on et to play around with because they are almost extinct in the real educated world.
I think science and religion start with the same question - "Why?".
I also think both science and religion become dogma if they believe they have the definitive answer that precludes all others. For scientists, that would mean the death of science. For the religious, it means they are claiming to be at the same level of knowledge/understanding as their God (blasphemy if I recall correctly) .

Not as close to extinction as you think. Less that 40% of Americans believe in evolution. 80% believe in angels and that god intervenes in their life. Lots of these people are 'educated'.
