		<description><![CDATA[If the human brain is highly evolved and that the survival of our species critically hinges on a sufficient objective understanding of the natural world, then why is it so susceptible to imaginative and inaccurate models of thinking? Think about how some credulous religious fanatics can kill thousands of people for an anticipation of heaven [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that humans are hardwired to make some sense of life or to have some meaning. Science and religion both agree on this goal, which is to come up with meaningful models to understand everything.
