The "response of most of humanity throughout history" has been to 
interpret everything it didn't understand by "intuiting" gods.  Hence, ancient
societies had gods of rain, thunder, volcanoes, etc., etc., etc.   However,
it seems that the more humanity learned, the less need it saw for gods.
   Finally, every mystery was resolved by postulating just one big god, 
but as time wears on and discovery is piled onto discovery, humanity will 
probably reach a point where it sees no need for even this one big fellow.

Idle speculation...Science has not disproven the existence of God. How 
can it, being limited to the purely physical realm. You ignore the 
evidence provided by the experience of countless theists throughout 
history. Perhaps because it falls outside of the limits of your own 
experience, or because it is convenient for you to do so. If anything 
recent history has shown a hunger for religious experience. Check out 
the New Age section in your nearest book store. Belief in God is 
certainly greater than it was even twenty years ago. There is absolutely 
no reason, based on present facts, to postulate the demise of humanity's 
belief in the Big Fella, a.k.a. God.
