By the time civilization as we know it was born, our evolution was mostly complete. I was not talking about religion as we know it today or about humans as we know them today. I was talking about "religion" as it existed when we first started to walk upright and still lived in caves.

Clark applies here somehow, not exactly sure how..

Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer Arthur C. Clarke. They are:

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
