Through the Wormhole presents: "Did we invent God, or did God invent us?"

"If God exists ONLY inside our brains, that does not mean God is not real. Our brains are where reality crystallizes for us."

I LOVE that quote! 

In many ways it says it all when it comes to arguing the existence of God. 

I really like the way that they approached the question, essentially mapping out WHY humans feel the need to identify and communicate with non-existent entities, and how that may have helped us to rationalize our world and develop into the critical thinking species that we are today.

I guess my question would be, does continuing to believe in a supernatural presence help us, or does it hold us back from evolving even further?
