   This is true, but that doesn't mean that we as humans revert back to 
our superstitious state of mind and star ooh-ah'ing and dancing around 
the bonfire while chanting the gregorian rite of life !

   There IS a cause for this effect though we haven't a clue what drives
it, and the proof for this is seen in nature itself and the human body.

   No, ignorance is about things that we don't understand, and IN 
ignorance we attribute that which we cannot rationlize into something
that still can't be dealt with and understood.

   There is NO all seeing sky pixie thats magically going to pluck us 
from deaths door, or heal us or even look after us in this universe,
there IS just US to take care of us. It's our responsibility to look
after one another, no one else will.
