“I HOPE THERE IS NO GOD!” Thomas Nagel > “I speak from experience, being strongly subject to this fear myself: I want > atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most > intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers.

I don’t want there to be a God; I > don’t want the universe to be like that. My guess is that this cosmic > authority problem is not a rare condition and that it is responsible for much > of the scientism and reductionism of our time. One of the tendencies it > supports is the ludicrous overuse of evolutionary biology to explain > everything about human life, including everything about the human mind ….

A neurologist describes a case where two parts of the brain seem to have conflicting beliefs about God’s existence, and mockingly asks which ‘entity’ will go to heaven?
