Analytic Philosophy, Creationism, and Space Program

I think that humans try too desperately to move our presumed position between God and animal closer to God and further from our hairy ancestors. What do you think about this flight from the body and the planet?

The American space program is an obvious effort to seek out a new world somewhere in the heavens that will be like a giant step for mankind's effort not only to discard our mortal body but to discard our trashed-out and dying planet.

Paul Bloom, author of the article, informs us that "human beings come into the world with a predisposition to believe in supernatural phenomena…this predisposition is an incidental by-product of cognitive functioning gone awry".

That's a slightly odd twist to analytic philosophy. True, it often did deal with formal constructions that didn't apply to direct objects (abstract logic - kind of like math), but it wasn't some kind of appeal to an otherworldly realm. In fact, the goal of analytic philosophy was largely to show to much of traditional philosophy, which concerned itself with questions relating to immortality, God, heaven, etc., was in fact completely senseless and therefore had no meaning. (To be technical, many analytic philosophy believe(d) that a statement must be capable of being disproven in order for it to even have a meaning at all. If there is no situation under which I refuse to believe in God, even if the worst possible occurrence just leads me to say "It's God's will, who am I to say?", then the statement "God exists" corresponds to no *particular* empirical state and therefore has no meaning. There is no situation in which I would say "God does not exist," so saying "God exists" is meaningless.) Analytic philosophy is generally associated with precise rigor and empirically verifiable statement, not, what analytic philosophers might call, mystical imagination.
