Religion, Neuroscience and New Physics in Dialogue: Stone Age Souls in Modern Minds

The book explores the relationship between neuroscience, identity, and the soul and proposes that our survival depends on understanding ourselves as merely brain without the confusion of pixie dust in the nanotubules. It suggests that we can reorient ourselves to the idea of Nature and our humane ethical response and that by looking at the challenge of neuroscience to identity, we can bridge the gap between scientific and theological perspectives.

Can we live with being merely a brain with a history of being souls? Can our supra-nature, learned in the crucible of religion and expressed in theology, survive without being exiled to the quantum mysteries of consciousness? Our very survival depends on these questions being answered and in a manner by which a non-expert can understand.

The book explores these ideas and posits how we might be able to understand ourselves as merely brain without the confusion of pixie dust in the nanotubules, reorienting ourselves to the idea of Nature, and our humane ethical response. By looking at the challenge of neuroscience to identity and our souls, the book explores the tension of being scientific and theological and helps guide the reader to what can be said by either front in our axial age.

The book is a fascinating exploration of these ideas and provides a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of our existence. It is well-written and accessible to a wide audience, making it an important contribution to the field of philosophy and theology. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in these topics.
