Survival of the Superstitious: How Religion Helped Ancient Humans Survive

It is better to believe in something rather than nothing. In fact, "believing" was the only way ancient humans survived.In this book, the pilgrim takes you on a journey to the ancient foundations of humanity. In these pages, Genesis shows how believing in anything good (whether myths, superstitions, tales or religion-no matter how seemingly bizarre) is preferable to atheism. By reading this book you will develop a deep appreciation for the contribution of spiritual faith to human development. Today, the same principle remains: In order for humans to survive, they need spiritual beliefs. Genesis shows "spiritual people" are more likely to survive danger, more inclined to submit to authority and more capable of enduring hardship-ultimately leading to higher rates of survival for religious societies. However, human societies collapse when they forsake spiritual beliefs. All ancient human societies were religious. This book shows you why. And, in turn, this book encourages you to embrace spiritual beliefs just as your ancestors did. Believe in something good, rather than believing in nothing. And, through "believing" you can survive.
