November 23, 2003: The God Part of the Brain - Matthew Alper
Author Matthew Alper joins the program to present his provocative theory that spiritual belief is a hardwired function of the human brain. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Alper argues that the human need for a higher power may be a survival mechanism encoded into our neural architecture. Together, they explore questions of consciousness, faith, and whether our spiritual instincts are rooted in biology rather than divinity.
