The reason I lay out this framework as opposed to starting with a question is because there are so many amazing questions that you ask in this book, "We Who Wrestle with God," and it occurred to me to step back from all of that and ask, is part of the reason that we have a concept of God—the consequence of some humans at some point realizing, or perhaps God himself realizing, that what we are equipped with as humans, which we've just described, is insufficient to allow us to evolve as a species and be the best version of ourselves?

In 1972, Ernest Becker wrote a book, which you'll know all about, the book based on the title called The Denial of Death; he won the Pulitzer Prize for it. And Becker's contention was that we are the only species that at a very early age recognizes that we are only here for a short period of time, but more than anything, at one point in time we will die; we will cease to exist.
Ari Wallach discusses the book 'The Denial of Death' by Ernest Becker, highlighting Becker's argument that human awareness of mortality drives us to create culture as a means to cope with the fear of death. This is mentioned within the broader context of contemplating actions and thoughts concerning the distant future.
