    World Science Festival: The Believing Brain: Evolution, Neuroscience, and the Spiritual Instinct

    DESCRIPTION

    God, they say, is in the details. But could God also be in our frontal lobes? Every culture from the dawn of humankind has imagined planes of existence beyond the reach of our senses, spiritual domains that shape our Earthly experiences. Why do beliefs of the fantastic hold such powerful sway over our species? Is there something in our evolutionary history that points to an answer? Does neuroscience hold the key? Straddling the gap between science and religion, Brian Greene is joined by renowned neuroscientists, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists, to explore one of the most profound mysteries of our existence.

    PARTICIPANTS: Lisa Barrett, Barbara J. King, Zoran Josipovic, Steven Pinker

    MODERATOR: Brian Greene




    DURATION

    1 hour 18 minutes

    This should be interesting ... There is a 'God' sense in our heads somewhere ... probably the same place consciousness is.

    That is more or less what at least one of them is saying.
