Theism first off does not shun the sciences but advocates their advancements sir. Simply put, your point is that religion has been created by men to be at peace with the unexplained, rationally. But what makes us think for sure that men like Einstein would be referencing in his view a subjective god? I think he was inferring the absolute nature of God though he failed to grasp the idea of an anthropological and personal Deity as he resorted to some principles of pantheism. The cosmological religion is yet to be introduced to the world in general. This is the religion that advocates our present processes though finite they may be and would progress with it as a tool to arriving in conclusive conclussions as to the existence of an absolute God. The anti-thesis of pure truth which is a combination of pure science and pure religion is mind-worship. Our faculties with all its inherent potentials are all but products of a higher form of creation and not that too carnal and funnily random one. Please try not to shun the possibility of quantum mechanics explaining the unobservable in the present time.

It’s hard to accept the possibility that we are a product of an evolutionary process driven by random mutation; that our physical complexity is just an outcome of the inherent nature of matter to self-organise into progressively elaborate energy-dissipating mechanisms, that our consciousness (mysterious as it may be) is no more than an emergent property of the pinnacle of the energy-fuelled natural march to complexity — our brains.

It seems to me that gods were created because of our need to know the reasons why we do things or simply why things are. These are questions that delve into the fundamental nature of our minds — something that will probably be impossible considering that the ability to ponder this question is an outcome of processes going on inside the object being pondered itself.

That is, we cannot hope to understand a process that is more complex than the process that creates our ability to understand.

As we get more adept at using our brains (as reflected by the quality of the mind it hosts), we have less need for gods. This seems to be consistent with the progressive secularisation of societies as they civilise, advance, and enlighten.

Which says a lot for a society such as ours where characters knelt in prayer and people stampeding over one another to touch a wooden statue continue to be a source of false inspiration.

As we strengthen and refine the intellectual constructs (e.g. our science, economics, politics, culture, and ethics) that we use to increase the harmony of our communities, we rely less on dogma and invented morality of the religions woven around the gods we created. We need to give back pre-eminence to the single biggest achievement of our planet’s natural processes — our brain, and the mind it hosts.
