The argument that religion began in some darkness or terror is also untrue. When we examine the foundations of his modern idea we find there are no foundations. All the legends of mankind point back not to prehistoric fear but to paradise. The idea of a lost paradise is precisely the opposite idea of evolutionary progress.
"The whole human race has a tradition of the Fall. Amusingly enough, the very disseminating of his idea is use against its authenticity. Learned men literally say that this prehistoric calamity cannot be true because every race the mankind remembers it." -- Chesterton
