I've always wondered at what stage in prehistory 'science' (of a sort) or knowledge tipped the balance and they, by witnessing the same phenomena again and again over generations, began to be less immediately impressed by, or influenced by, those sorts of things in a religious sense.
Although - we are still able to feel so strongly and be so impressed by phenomena which we are very well used to seeing and understanding (sunsets/rises/night sky) so maybe its just the belief which is different. The feelings generated stay the same, but the meaning we attribute to it changes?
