189. Has it occurred to you that all of them have it right as to what it is?

Or that the "divine something or other" is precisely the source of the myriad conceptualizations of god? Religious belief is as evolutionary as language, philosophy, law, literature, art, and culture, and it proceeds on its course in much the same way as these other intra-species facilitators. What is momentarily fixed as dogma is generationally re-interpreted, abandoned, re-discovered, or incorporated into new iterations.

We are as a species preternaturally inclined in our developmental stages toward exploration of that "divine something or other," perhaps as a methodological precursor to our species-specific need, or drive, for explanations. We invent and then use immaterial abstractions to understand and to manipulate the material world. That "divine something or other" could turn out to be related to our currently inexplicable propensity to do so, and to its rather startling result -- evolutionary production of a universal constructor.
