Did God Evolve? An Evolutionist's Speculation about Religion - Professor Steve Jones
Did God Evolve? http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/did-god-evolve-an-evolutionists-speculation-about-religion
Ideas and beliefs evolve as much as do bodies and brains and in some ways the two processes are similar. A survey of world religions, both now and in the past, shows some interesting consistencies, with a clear fit between levels of belief and degrees of social inequality.
From the beginning, particular faiths have been - as Darwin showed for bodies - driven by demographic success, and Christianity at least is safe, since its believers reproduce far more effectively than do we atheists.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/did-god-evolve-an-evolutionists-speculation-about-religion
