Matthew Alper – The God Part of the Brain


Author and philosopher Matthew Alper will discuss his theory that human beings are genetically hard-wired to experience some form of spirituality. He suggests that over time, humanity evolved in this direction as a way of coping with the inevitable knowledge of our own deaths.
