Why would anyone be so easily taken to believing that things must come from the outside, the supernatural?

Why do so many people in the United States and elsewhere look to the outside for answers? Religion, karma, astrology, for example. We are the highest primates on earth with an incredible brain, intuition, reason and instinct, for most of us.

We simply need to look within for good problem solving capability, for answers, hope, creativity, purpose and fortitude. When people look to the outside, to the supernatural, for anything you don't understand or anything you need, all personal responsibility is taken away which all morals and ethics must depend.
