		<description><![CDATA[In ancient times, humanity — that is we —  dealt with the horror of inexplicable existence in a harsh and unforgiving world by first creating and then worshiping with unconditional fear and devotion, gods and spirits; we bowed down to them as the source of all things, good and evil, that befell us.
