From the dawn of our species, every culture has communicated through a spoken language. We do this because in our brains there are specific parts that have evolved which enable us with this capacity. Similarly, From the dawn of our species, every culture has maintained a belief in some form of a spiritual reality. Might this be indicative of the fact that human spirituality must represent an inherent characteristic of our species, that is, a genetically inherited trait? Are Humans "hard-wired" to believe in the concepts of a god, a soul and an afterlife? Are what we call spiritual/religious e xperiences strictly physiological in nature, the effects of our brain's chemistry? Does God really exist "out there," beyond and independent of us, or are our beliefs merely the consequence of an inherited human perception, the manifestation of an evolutionary adaptation - a coping mechanism - that emerged in our species to enable us to survive our unique and otherwise debilitating awareness of death?
