00:00A 40-year-old man murdered his 12-year-old nephew out of superstition.
00:04He suspected that the child's mother practiced witchcraft,
00:07which was causing his wife to have repeated miscarriages.
00:10Driven by this suspicion, he stabbed the child and then strangled him to death.
00:15Superstition existed then. Superstition exists now.
00:19Superstition exists in illiterate people.
00:21Superstition exists in the field of religion.
00:23Superstition exists even in science.
00:26Superstition percolates every dimension of our being, our thought.
00:31Where does it come from?
00:32It comes from this, the body, our DNA.
00:36Biologically, we are not created to really know.
00:40We are created to believe.
00:43If you know there is a lot of dirt inside,
00:45then you have to become responsible to clean it up.
00:48Who wants to own that responsibility?
00:50Who wants to put in that effort?
00:52So, we have to be very cautious of ourselves.
00:56A real enemy sits within, in the body itself, in the DNA itself.
