The fundamental functions I mentioned are important for the continued maintenance of religion. I proposed a hypothesis that "death awareness" must be a key step towards religion, but we can't test this. I agree with most of your assertions re: cosmology. I have heard Carroll speak on this issue. Hopefully he was right in a recent TED talk and we can solve the cause of the Big Bang before 2050.Granted, some religions grappled with explanation, some with death, some with destiny. But I don't think we can model religion on those specifically.
the real problem is that nature is too "creative".
