I'm not even claiming to look on the world only through science eyes. I'm just proposing an idea that this behavior can be explained through science and therefore making it more acceptable to people that do look for scientific evidence and don't just want to take anything for granted (I'm such a person as well).

Also it is foolish and dangerous to not take a critics approach to everything because you might end up having a belief into a "religion" that does not have any meaning. It is good to explore things further and determine what lays beyond. If we didn't as a race take that approach, we'd still be believing that thunders come from "gods" but today's science goes to such levels that it is almost hard to distinguish what the scientific part is and what is not. Because things like super-strings and such stuff are not really something we can ever hope to see or measure. It's more like an idea or theory.

But the most important thing is that this beliefs system CAN really work to ones benefit and if using the practical approach this is the only thing that really matters.
