CMV: If all traces of religion disappeared, our current religious views would never re-emerge with the same content at another point in time.

If the Bible/quran and all religious writings disappeared in say, a global extinction event, do you think they would have a possibility of resurfacing when humanity rebuilds? 

I would say no, and that if something can only be observed once, how true can it be? 

On the other hand, and to extend the question, I would say that the Buddhas teachings can be rediscovered. They concern the experience of the human mind, and sitting in meditation and introspection eventually and inevitably reveals the nature of the mind. It feels like a factual textbook compared to a story book. 

I hope that didn't offend anybody, I'm just wearing my opinion on my sleeve.

I think there’s really three major problems with this argument.

The first is that it already presupposes that the deity described by these religions does not exist. For example, if the Qur’an was lost, whether or not it would be revealed again depends on whether or not the Islamic god exists. Unless it’s actually lost and we can gain some outside perspective and see whether or not it is revealed again someday, the point doesn’t seem to hold much weight.

The second is that many aspects of these religions probably would reappear again. For instance, a doctrine like monotheism probably would result from just natural philosophy, as it did for many philosophers in Pagan Greece who nevertheless came to the conclusion that there was a unified divine force behind the universe such as Xenophanes or Aristotle. 

The third is that the doctrines which would be lost would mostly (if not entirely) be things based in historical events. History is obviously not something we can ‘rediscover’ like a lost mathematical theorem. If all the evidence for a historical event, both discovered and undiscovered, were lost, then that event could not be later ‘found.’ This is true if you’re talking about whether or not Jesus of Nazareth resurrected on the third day or if you’re talking about whether Julius Caesar existed. The fact that if a hypothetical historical disaster happened and we lost all potential pieces of historical evidence for these things we would no longer believe in them should be absolutely zero obstacle for anyone.
