"Adult" of course being judged by the standards of current humanity. One two-year-old says to another "grow up."
It always pleases me that religion (by which they always mean the Judeo-Christian religions, of course) is attacked for supposedly regarding humans as the "be-all [and] end-all" of the universe by people who maintain that there isn't anything beyond us. The fact that religion specifically states that there is some entity more important and special than humanity seems to escape them.
I could be perfectly happy to dismiss religion if only the arguments ranged against it weren't always so poorly thought through...
