it is very utilitarian, but there is no conclusive proof.

Science has done more to reveal how little we truly understand about our universe than has religion. Religion ascribes false answers for feels. Science endeavors to weed out the falsehoods and open the casket.

Our eyes see a tiny percentage of the visible spectrum of energy. Its like only using two keys on an 88 key piano. Science revealed this and made better eyes (Xray, gamma, etc.)

our basic moral understanding came from the old faith traditions

Rape (http://www.evilbible.com/Rape.htm), child sacrifice (http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Child-sacrifice), the old time religion.

Its more than proof, its which approach is useful. If prayer worked, I'd do it more.
