Genes vs prayer

I had a thought that I wanted to put in my blog while it was fresh in my mind. The thought is so often we seek direction from a god or a dead ancestor,coin flipping, divination, etc. in other words we look for solutions or answers to our problems outside of ourselves. However, I feel that my genes which I received from my ancestors, through evolution and adaptation created the brains in which mental processes occur, has given me everything I need. To seek direction from an unknown god or dead ancestor like conventional religions and traditional religions want us to, is to be a child forever asking someone to save us, to help us and we never grow up and take responsibility for our lives. I catch myself wanting to flip a coin, speaking a silent request for direction on a decision but then I say to myself, I have a brain, which the evolution of my species has given me over millions of years, and thus I have everything I need and thus to ask a god, an ancestor, flip a coin, or consult some divination would be an insult to the legacy of all who have given me their genes,which produced my brain, and my mental capacities to think for myself. This is why when people pray they bow their heads and close their eyes, if you stand back and look at them objectively, it look ridiculous, (the next time there's a public prayer or something see how it looks), they look like little children or a slave begging a master, a mean parent or bully for a something they want. As Fredrick Douglass once stated and I conclude "I prayed for twenty years but received no answers until I prayed with my legs" Think about it...
