Most of the people on this forum seem to think its pretty important regardless of the camp they come from, if the amount of time that they are willing to take to make their point is any indication.
Actually, from the perspective of teaching and science, most of us are here because we object to people's musings on "why" being pushed as the equivalent of the science of "how". Like hitchy, I don't spend most of my creative energies on "why" but as a scientist I want to know "how". I agree with your assessment that the "why" could be a good topic for a philosophical or comparative/history of religion course topic, but there is a large segment of society that wants it presented as science.
