Creation Moment 1/16/2012 - Evolution of Religion challenged by GOBEKLI TEPE

A story in the National Geographic lays out the evolutionary view of religion- "Anthropologists have assumed that organized religion began as a way of salving the tensions that inevitably arose when hunter-gatherers settled down, became farmers, and developed large societies,"

The discovery in southern Turkey at Gobekli Tepe now challenges that view. A temple found there has some evolutionary anthropologists questioning if maybe religion came first, then agriculture instead of the other way around. This was suggested by Klaus Schmidt, the lead researcher at the site,

Elif Batumen, who visited the ste said, "Anthropologists have assumed that organized religion began as a way of salving the tensions that inevitably arose when hunter-gatherers settled down, became farmers, and developed large societies,"

How about man was created from the start with the ability to learn about agriculture and have a desire for religion? Just saying.....

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Psalm 90:4
