If you have ever had any doubts about your faith or religion but lacked the scientific background to answer your questions, this is the book for you. It will strengthen your spiritual brain, stimulate your thinking brain and allow you to develop a rational spirituality where your spiritual and thinking brain are not in conflict
This
book is intended for all inquisitive readers who are interested in why
humans are such a spiritual species; whether Intelligent Design is a valid
alternative to Darwinian evolution; whether our sacred books were written
by man or by God; whether God Created Man or Man Created God; whether man
made up the theory of God as our creator and protector; and whether our
rational thinking brain can live in peace with our spiritual brain.
If you treasure your spirituality but
have ever questioned any part of your faith or religion, this book is for
you. It is written for those who are spiritual but would like answers to
their doubting questions. It explores the possibility that our rational brain
created God to satisfy the transcendent yearnings of our spiritual brain
and that man wrote all the sacred books.
Unlike some recent books that call for
the end of faith and religion, this book proposes that spirituality is genetically
hardwired into a specific part of the brain, is pleasurable, is critical
to the evolution and survival of man, and will never go away. It strives
to allow readers to develop a rational spirituality in which the
fact-based rational brain and the faith-based spiritual brain can live in
peace. Intolerance, wars and terrorism based on religion make the assumption
that one person’s God is better than another’s and that the sacred
books are the literal word of God. A rational spirituality illustrates the
fallacy of these assumptions and allows individuals of all religions to live
in peace.
What Reviewers say:
The scientific attempt to explain religion has been around
for over a century, but only recently has it exploded onto the cultural scene
with the renewed interest in the relationship of science and religion, and
particularly with the advances in the neurosciences. It now appears that
we are getting close to understanding what is going on inside the religious
mind, and David Comings has written a remarkable analysis, that includes
the most detailed and up-to-date science ever generated on the subject of
religion. Did Man Create God? will be the definitive scientific reference
on religion for some time to come.
