I don't understand the claim. Working backwards and finding reasoning and evidence for or against and then responding to this post with my position on the question is a possibility, but why? I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but I have a difficult time understanding the purpose of posting a claim that likely has plenty of reason, evidence, and thought behind it, but is presented with none supporting it.

On a similar note, God could be a tactic for people to manage their own anxiety about ethics and science.
