How much longer will people continue to belief in ancient myths about Gods and prophets? I don't mean this question in an insulting way, I'm serious. So many legends and myths of our ancestors have been disproven, when will the current crop of ancient beliefs (Christianity, Islam, etc) go the way of the Dodo?
I understand that these legends bring comfort to some who are looking for answers as to "why are we here" and "what happens after this life". I guess my question is, why don't we just admit that we don't know the answers to these questions rather than creating belief systems that have been the cause of so much suffering and unhapiness over the centuries? "Turning my life over to God" or "It's in God's hands" seems such a cop out.
Our species has developed to a point where we can ask various questions but nowhere near advanced enough to know the answers. Having said that, we are getting there slowly but none of us alive today will know the real answers.
