Answer 1

Maybe it's because MAN instictively recognizes something GREATER has made all things possible.

Remember that the next time you eat an apple.

There is a need to thank. If you are hungry and someone gives you an apple, you thank them.

If you are hungry and come across an apple tree and pick a few apples and there is no one around, you are still thankful and need someone to thank.

Answer 2

In our modern language of science we may talk about small things attracting other small things and combining to form bigger things. We may discuss chaos theory and “wild attractant” molecules, natural selection and evolution rather than gods who spoke the universe into being or from whose heads their children sprang fully formed.

And, still, we humans are worshippers. A sense of the sacred suffuses any story about our beginning. The stories we tell about how we came to be touch our sense of wonder, and we are filled with awe. For no matter how scientific the terms we use, our innermost selves tell us that these are miracles: that things exist at all, that life exists at all, and that life has become conscious of itself.

So why, then, do we worship differently? Why do we see "God" differently?

Throughout the ages, and all over the world, we have worshipped at many different shrines. Each altar has been oriented toward a different face of the All, of the Divine, of the Mystery, shaped by our different cultural and personal experiences and values. The way that we experience life and understand consciousness informs all of our actions, and especially the ways in which we worship.

Our holy places are everywhere, for we are surrounded by miracles. And it is in our recognition of the miraculous that our image of "God" is formed. Which particular miracles you can see as miracles determine what face "God" wears for you. If your central miracle, the miracle that defines you as a culture or a person, is that humankind is distinct from the rest of Nature, the face of "God" you see will not look anything like the face of "God" seen by people whose central miracle is that the same life-force infuses rocks, trees, animals, stars and humans.

Answer 3

I am a Christian and so, i will say because the Bible says so.

On the other hand, people who don't believe in a God still worship something because they see such wonderful and great things on this earth that are just too complicated to have just existed out of nothing. There must be a greater being that has created all these wonderful things.

Answer 4

Because just about everyone wants to believe that there is something more to this life. Just about everyone wants to feel that no matter how old they are they are still being looked after by some higher power. In ancient times it kept the world from going crazy and destroying itself by setting up rules and regulations for society to follow just like our criminal system does today. Without laws there can only be anarchy.

Answer 6

The mind seeks the higher ground and yearns for understanding, it is easy to see how one would wonder at the world and everything in it.

What else would you do but believe in a higher power or a all emcompassing force that unites all biengs big or small.

Good Luck and God Bless.

Answer 7

God created us with body, soul and spirit. The body is the shell to allow us to physically do things, the soul is the personality and mind, and the spirit is what was created to worship God.

Our spirits seek to worship Him in truth. But often the flesh and soul fight it and dominate it and this is when we seek in the wrong places.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to God the Father except through Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

No one needs to be told that there is a God. We just know. It doesn't take a genious to figure out that humanity was not an accident, a random thing that just happened in a world that has no purpose or meaning.

Answer 9

It builds group bonding. This is important to religions whose only basis is emotional. The group bonding of gathering together to do various rites and rituals gives a common experience which builds group empathy.

Answer 10

Have a look at "Why God Won't Go Away" by Andrew Newberg. He has some interesting observations on that question.
