What is the origin of religion?

[Feathers in Hair]

In the light of fact however there is sufficient scientific information and historical documentation to prove the existance of God and everything related to Christianity.

Same for every other religion (including, though I doubt it would want to be called a religion, atheism).! Yay! We're all right!

If you examined mankinds reasons for anything and specifically avoid gathering any facts and information about history and mankinds gathering of information along the way then I can see your point of view.

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding this statement... so you're saying that, the reasons people came up with religion don't matter, but the evidence behind them do? If religion had never come up, whatever facts and information you're suggesting would never have had anything to support.

Because as far as I know, the 'reasoning' behind religion comes from our analysis of the history of very old humans (ones that did not have writing systems, and thus no history). It would be arrogant to say we know what they were thinking, but we can make assumptions, based on what they appeared to be doing. You can make assumptions too... (i.e. - the topic, where do you think religions originated?)

In the light of fact however there is sufficient scientific information and historical documentation to prove the existance of God and everything related to Christianity.

Could you make a new thread about this scientific information / historical documentation that proves (not just suggests) the existance of God and everything related to Christianity. I don't want to get off topic, but I'd like to know what your reasoning is.
