I've had these links at the bottom of my starred list in Google Reader for ages with the intention of writing something about them, thing is... I don't think I can be arsed so I'll just put 'em here instead:
- Is Science Fiction a Religious Experience?
- Is the Human Brain a "Belief Engine"?
- Is This Your Brain On God?
- Why we are born to believe in God: It's wired into the brain, says psychologist.
Thank goodness I've got them off my starred list, I was starting to worry a little bit with all that religious stuff there!
It's interesting that scientists are looking at LSD again, not sure it's quite up to the standard of Timothy Leary though... perhaps that isn't such a bad thing though?
