And with good reason. (And some that should have, IMHO, didn't.) I
personally believe Ecclesiastes made it so there would be something helpful
for
secularists to read in primarily sacred texts. And because it's universal in
its
message.

With good reason depending on who was doing the censoring. I've never taken
much interest in the Bible, but one day I'll read Ecclesiastes. In the
meantime, I re-read that story on information not being able to be destroyed.
While Science News refers to concrete things such as books, they don't define
"information". Negatively and positively charged particles inside and outside
black holes. Yeah, so? Too other-dimensional for me.
In the meantime, I can't find the article on religion being a genetic thing.
Don't even remember where I saw it. I suspect the predisposition to religion
is like the predisposition to language or the ability to create art and
literature, but I will reserve judgment until I find the God-forsaken thing.
Genetics may answer the question as to why we seem to need God more than God
needs us. I'll dig up Ecclesiastes this weekend and read a verse or two.
