Psychology, Evolution, and Maybe
A proponent of stardust-to-psychologist evolution makes a statement, then it gets supported by terms like scientists think, it could be, maybe, and other weasel words. No evidence though. The statement is then accepted by those with atheism spectrum disorder who call it science.
Psychologists speculate about the evolution of religion (ignoring the fact that atheism is itself a religion). Some are speculating that belief in gods is a function of the brain, but an existing part of the brain had to quickly evolve a religion section. No evidence though.

A psychologist thinks he has evidence for this brain phenomenon. Deep-time presuppositions are fundamental, as human religious artifacts were dated tens of thousands of years ago. Plug in the assumption of atheism as a "default" position (never mind that children are born believing in God) and biases appear to be confirmed. The real evidence shows that we are the created beings, and no amount of secularist speculation can change the truth.
Earlier this month, a curious piece by Ohio State University psychologist and neuroscientist Gary Wenk appeared in Psychology Today. It purports to explain how “the brain” came to “invent the idea of gods”

Maybe there is a rule that every so often the descent must be made. Dr. Wenk’s article so much fits the pattern of such articles that its best use is to illustrate their general characteristics.
