BIDAI BYATHA
/////////////////Dawkins: The origin of life is the starting point, not the same thing as evolution. And it is not a very common phenomenon. In truth it is a very rare, improbable event, which happened once in 4 billion years. Something that might have happened only once in the entire universe – we don’t know yet, but if the advent of life were so common, we probably would have already discovered something or been discovered. It’s a common argument, but I think it’s very silly. It’s the God of the gaps: when they can’t explain something, they say that it was God. But then they still have to explain God.
/////////////////////Human groups in whatever time or place, in completely isolated areas, always have some type of faith in the supernatural. Do you believe that faith has a genetic basis? That it’s a product of evolution?
Dawkins: Yes, I do. Probably not directly. I think that human beings have a psychological predisposition for religious faith and that this must have a genetic basis. And that people, under certain conditions, develop religions because, in some way, they help them to survive.
