  • Neuroscience and Religion

    Brain, Mind, Self, and Soul

    by Michael Bess, Stephan Carlson, Tom Gregor, Gary Jensen, Alicia Juarrero, John McCarthy, Jeff Schall, Edward Slingerland ...
    For religious persons, the notion of human being is tied inextricably to the notion of God (or the gods) and turns on this question: what is human being? How did we, with our almost infinite capacities for thought, change, and domination, come to be? Imbued with powers far beyond any other animal, humans are too faulty to be considered gods themselves. Yet, the idea of God (or the gods) appears in ... Read more

    Uncertainty and Bias in Science and Society

    by David Harker ...
    For decades, cigarette companies helped to promote the impression that there was no scientific consensus concerning the safety of their product.
