Tragedy of human cognition?
Howdy!
The work load has kept up its intensity and I've still got a million things left to do before university takes a break for Easter later this month. Added to that, I've had to face the dire consequences of a malfunctioning left eye for the past week or so. The eye has forced me to shove in time for regular trips to the doctor and have had to accommodate a crazy schedule for administering medication.
Grr...
Anyway, I'm tuning in to share this particular article I stumbled on the New York Times today. Titled "Darwin's God", the article is a light read on the scientific research that is exploring the birth of the concept of God and how the persisting belief in God and religions may fit within the evolutionary processes that lead to the modern human cognitive machinery. The questions that both the adaptationists and the byproduct theorists are asking are, in my opinion, pretty valid and are questions to which we undoubtedly should seek answers to!
