One of the central claims of Norenzayan et al.'s article is that supernatural monitoring and intergroup competition have facilitated the rise of large-scale prosocial religions. Although the authors outline in detail how social instincts that govern supernatural monitoring are honed by cultural evolution and have given rise to Big Gods, they do not provide a clear explanation for the success of karmic religions. Therefore, to test the real scope of their model, Norenzayan et al. need to seriously engage with questions concerning the evolution of karmic prosocial religions.
诺伦兹扬等人的文章的核心观点之一是，超自然监控和群体间竞争促进了大规模的亲社会宗教的兴起。尽管作者详细阐述了超自然监控所遵循的社会本能是如何通过文化进化而得到磨砺，并由此产生了“大天神”，但他们并没有对业报宗教的成功给出明确的解释。因此，为了检验其模型的实际范围，诺伦兹扬等人需要认真探讨有关业报亲社会宗教进化的问题。
