I love to hunt, and while I understand all the scientific principles and such, it is hard to sit in a deer stand and observe all the wonders of nature - how the trees die off in the fall and come back each spring, how many different types of grass there are, and yes the variety of animals and how they all seem to "fit" in nature - without believing in something greater and bigger than us feeble humans. So yes, guess it is just hardwired in many of us to believe in something bigger, better, smarter so we don't get too much of a big head at what we have supposedly accomplished...
