the dna of belief

Many people can not understand the human propensity for faith. They struggle to explain it in biological, philosophical, and cultural terms. I stumbled across this interesting article from the NY Times, Darwin's God. The fundamental question being asked in the article is: "In short, are we hard-wired to believe in God? And if we are, how and why did that happen?"

I appreciate the tone of the article, specifically because it shows what they call "neo-atheists" for what they are. And instead of trying to convert people to the faith of atheistic science it opens up the question whether or not we are hard-wired to believe because of God or some kind of neurological or evolutionary accident.
