In Stages: We Grew (‘Evolved’) from
Animism to Science
Animism: Reality Is Personal:Everything Has a Soul
“Science”: Reality Is Impersonal:
Everything Is Matter

But, Some Folks Just Don’t Evolve or Grow Up

They Are “Survivals” of Past Stages

Like Men’s Neckties
Keeping Beau’s Neck Warm, His Shirt Fastened, Then But, Just an Ornament, Now

Yes….
Tylor Thinks All Religions Are Just Animism – Even Christianity.
It Is the Belief in One Great Spirit (i.e. God)
Who Controls the World

William Robertson Smith (1846-94)

“Sitz im Leben” for Real: Among the Semites as a ‘Semite’
Abdullah Efendi Saladin Bey

Comparison Means that:Semites ≈ Maoris
Eating the Unclean -- Tabu Touching the Holy, Tabu, Too
![Page 18: Evolution: Religion Changes by Growing E. B. Tylor, William Robertson Smith, and James George Frazer](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e795503460f94b785c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
But “We” Are Higher -- “Exceptional”:Our Religion Is Basically Morality & Beliefs
‘Their’ Material Religion = Rituals &Taboos
‘Our’ Spiritual Religion = Morality & Doctrines

Frazer Wondered about Two Things:
What Evolved?
And, BTW, Where Does Religion Come
from?

Our Attempts to Control Life Evolved:First, We Tried “Magic”
![Page 23: Evolution: Religion Changes by Growing E. B. Tylor, William Robertson Smith, and James George Frazer](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e795503460f94b785c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But, “Magic” Didn’t Work
![Page 24: Evolution: Religion Changes by Growing E. B. Tylor, William Robertson Smith, and James George Frazer](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e795503460f94b785c6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So, We Tried Calling on Higher PowersAKA “Religion”
![Page 25: Evolution: Religion Changes by Growing E. B. Tylor, William Robertson Smith, and James George Frazer](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e795503460f94b785c6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
But, Religion Had Mixed Results, too

So, We Tried Again to Control Life….This Time With Technology

The End?
