Prehistoric mentality

Still in the XXI Century the humans have a prehistoric mentality.
We got by chance a knowledge too much ahead of our intellectual capacity, a knowledge that should be acquired –perhaps- in 5,000 years time, but our mentality is still the same than the people living in the prehistoric times. And “that” is very, very, very dangerous. It is like to give a loaded gun to a child.
In the old times people was worshiping anything that they did not know the “why”: The Moon, the Sun, the storms, the sea… As the scientific knowledge did develop, we are not worshiping “those” things anymore (Really…?) but, since still there are millions of things that we don’t know, nowadays we have swapped the natural events for mysterious super powers, ghosts, “Peter Pans”… that we call “gods”. If we don’t know, is the god’s hand: End of the problem.
It seems that the Greek philosophy in which the western societies are found is just a one more subject in the university curriculum to make our life more complicated but we have not a clue about that and less deeply run our lives by that philosophy. We behave just like fanatics about everything that we don’t know, like the prehistoric humans.
One of the well known syllogisms goes as “If A = B and B =C, then A = C”. This days should be adapted to the actual knowledge and rewrite it as “if any the other related circumstances are the same, then A = C”.
So… If anything that in the past was witchcraft, through the years have been found an explanation and even are new scientist knowledge and/or technology, anything that today we don’t know will have an explanation in the future. Or don’t… So what? Our brain is limited to 4 dimensions (3 physical + time) and we can not understand further than that due to the physic structure of our brain. We can not see or survive in a hyperspace for the same token.
Galileo nearly finish in the bonfire, but the Earth does spin around the Sun… And the Pope is supposed to be inspired by the “holy ghost”…  The “holy ghost” must have lost some “text parts” in the mail…
"There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don't know." Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914); US writer.
But because we can not find an explanation doesn’t mean that there is not any. "Absence of proof is not proof of absence." Carl Sagan (1934-1996), US astronomer. I know… This statement is a double-edge sword… More democracy can not be… Each one takes the side that he/she likes.
When we want to enforce something, just convince people that is “The god’s will” and they will kill without blinking an eye. In the name of god have died more people than by any epidemic, illness, natural disaster, plague, etc., all together since the beginning of the times. Crusades (which real issue was a political, financial and power one between Germany, France and England), Islamic holy wars, The Inquisition, etc., etc., etc… Religion is always involved in all the wars. Like in Northern Ireland, for instance… In Northern Ireland can be made an political arrangement, but no way to arrive at any agreement in the religious field.
"I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education." Wilson Mizner (1876 - 1933), US screenwriter
"Faith is a charisma not granted to all; instead man has the gift of thought, which can strive after the highest things." Carl Gustav Jung
