Hi Susan, can you tell what an “original superstition “ and an “alternative superstitious, explanation.“ are? Thanks,

I thought that was fairly obvious - it is as clear as can be I think that ancient people decided that there were forces which did things because of human behaviour , thus leading to the invention of gods. This is, and has been ever since, the alternative superstition, but people who are believers do not like the idea that such beliefs can easily be labelled superstitions. Because of the increasing scientific understanding of the natural world and the universe, those who command the loyalty of billions for their religions must invent less and less credible falsehoods to explain. Such as, 'god is beyond time and space' *sigh*!!
