[QUOTE="Astor, post: 9412273, member: 554910"] As much as civilization has changed, our brains haven't. If we've been able to largely overcome mystical thinking it's because of the historical institutions that we've step up in order to pass down information (family, school, research departments, etc.), but a lot of that information is counter-intuitive to the way we naturally spot cause-and-effect relationships in the world. It's not just a matter of the information being widely available but of the individual being able to take it in. Still, unprovable beliefs will always exist and that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are many things we cannot understand and we need to fill in the gaps in order to function or in order to have some kind of framework, and that goes all the way from our day-to-day superstitions to scientists relying on theoretical assumptions when there's no way to prove something empirically.
