Planned 1
A human generally knows of many other humans, and such humans possess trillions of cells, which cells often form organs. The impossibility of said organs having evolved randomly can dispel standard doubts that the officially smart people of a human’s current situation are right.
The Initial Attraction of Consensus
As ever with the Christian religion, whether the older Jesus-based type or the newer Saiunce-based type, consensus is locked in a battle with evidence, and the religious can claim they are enlightened and superior for not needing evidence to believe what they say is obviously true. The evolved desire for conformity is often misused, but stems from a good place. I.e., if several humans are seen eating fruit from a tree, one may presume that is a good way to get calories. It seems that one may safely eat the fruit. If one witnesses instead a bunch of human bodies lying dead around a tree next to fruits with single bites out of them, one may rationally believe the fruit bad for consumption and not eat any. Similarly, if no one is around because a sneaky lion is consuming humans who come to eat fruit, one is wise to avoid the area. The loss of calories is unfortunate, but not being killed by said sneaky lion is worth it.
(If you are not sure about this one of the Ist examples, find a hungry lion, take off your clothes, and pray right by that lion with no zoo-stuff in between you and the lion. Assuming you are a man who appreciates the greatest passion ever a.k.a. His Passion, and if Jesus is not too busy then, He will come and fill you with His Grace, and it will be great. Unless that lion is a Satanist, in which case you may have a visit from Satan’s big, long, thick, tempting “snake,” in which case it will be great but you will go to Hell because Jesus gets REALLY jealous if you spend time with Satan.)
From good, sensible places have humans evolved the tendency to perceive groups of other humans doing something as reassuring and good. However, humans possessed not of the ability to see beyond this are greatly hampered. For example, a predator who feeds differently off humans than by eating them can attract groups in order to inspire others come due to humans’ aforementioned sense of doing right by being part of groups. Then, said assembled humans can be exploited, never really feeling anything can possibly be wrong because a lot of other people are doing the same thing.
Exploiting Consensus
This is how modern predators have evolved to exploit human evolution. By fostering groups, predators may skimanage them (feed off them). The stupidities spring therefrom. “Things happen randomly,” “Nothing happened before a giant orgasm-like burst in outer space,” “There is a daddy in the sky who loves you and whom you can never understand,” and “Give me special privileges to make up for the badness done to my group” (like the way the Passion of Jesus Christ makes there be donations) use this. Such stories are incredibly popular and work well with useful idiots.
All forms of Christianity, including the modern Bangist one, are this successful exploitation of consensus. The “beginning” seems at first to not be emotionally laden, but the story about a great bad thing happening—say of a Passion—often is. If you’ve ever been the target of an intense Jesus-style Christian conversion, or otherwise witnessed the ways in which some humans can respond emotionally to the rabbi’s great suffering, you’ve seen this. There never was a Jesus Christ, but many people find the story of S.R.'s life very compelling.
