Study: Religious and Superstitious People Struggle to Understand the Physical World
People who believe in God or the supernatural don’t quite understand the physical world, claims a new study from researchers at the University of Helsinki.
The Finnish scientists also concluded that not only did they not understand nature and the biological world clearly, religious people tended to anthropomorphize, ascribing human qualities like feelings to inanimate objects such as rocks, wind and the like. They would agree with statements like “stones sense the cold”.
