And in that third paragraph you show that you didn't understand the article. Harlow did not write that people were batshit crazy, but that they believed bat-shit insane ideas. Interestingly, the ability to distinguish between these two things is a marker of higher cognitive level.

Your last paragraph is also a nonsense. We don't know why or how the universe began. We don't even know if there is one universe or many. Admitting we don't know is surely far more logical that making the entirely unfounded and untestable claim that a magic man did it.
