Neurology and Religion

Scientists Locate 'God Spot' in Human Brain

If it is true that "religion ... evolved along with other belief and social cognitive abilities", then why do evolutionists fight so hard against it?

    wow - easy to see the presuppositional framework here...the effect fits whatever cause the observer ascribes to it...I say it is the natural responding to the supra-natural - that is - Man is "wired" to respond to the Creator with his whole being.

    Not only that, but since most humans throughout history have believed in some sort of deity, one has to wonder who really has the neurological disorder.

    Good points.

    ... just another of the latest lousy attempts to do away with the existence of God.

    Woah Swordbearer. Atheists would be in favor of eugenics would they? That's what it sounds like to me.

    I joked a few months ago, on this very blog I believe, that the naturalist's arguments were useless because I had the religious gene. Looks like they've verified this.

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

A Novel Reinterpretation of Origins: Literal Programmatic Intervention

Literal Programmatic Intervention A Systems Approach to Biblical Creation "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made."  - John 1:1,3 A Note on Purpose and Approach The Challenge We Face In our modern era, believers committed to biblical authority often find themselves caught between two unsatisfying extremes: either dismissing scientific discoveries as irrelevant to faith, or compromising clear biblical teachings to accommodate prevailing scientific consensus. Neither path honors both God's revelation in Scripture and His revelation through the natural world. What This Framework Attempts The Literal Programmatic Intervention (LPI) framework represents an honest attempt to address this tension. It seeks to: Take Scripture seriously  as historical narrative while engaging substantively with scientific observations Challenge modern objections  to bib...
