Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief
Newberg, Andrew
Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief / Andrew Newberg, Eugene D'Aquili and Vince Rause - New York : Ballantine Books, 2002 - 234 p.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Why have we humans always longed to connect with something larger than ourselves? Why does consciousness inevitably involve us in a spiritual quest? Why, in short, won't God go away? Theologians, philosophers, and psychologists have debated this question through the ages, arriving at a range of contradictory and ultimately unprovable answers. But in this brilliant, groundbreaking new book, researchers Andrew Newberg and Eugene d'Aquili offer an explanation that is at once profoundly simple and scientifically precise: the religious impulse is rooted in the biology of the brain.
