Warning: This Book May Change Your Worldview
Whether
you are a materialist or follow a conventional religion, this book will
make you think hard about your beliefs. If you are uncertain, this book
will help you think more clearly about science and religion.
This
book looks critically at materialism, the belief that only matter
exists and mind or spirit is a byproduct of matter. It shows that what
philosophers call “dualism,” the belief that matter and spirit exist
independently, is more plausible than materialism.
It begins by reviewing the arguments that philosophers have used to show that computers cannot have consciousness.
Then
it shows that materialism cannot provide a basis for scientific
knowledge or morality - and shows that it is self-contradictory to claim
that science has proven that only matter exists.
It examines both the evidence from near-death experiences and the attempts to explain away this evidence.
It concludes by asking how we can reconcile religion with science, looking at a wide range of religions.
From the beginning, the book takes a skeptical, critical approach to both materialism and religious faith:
“As
a congenital skeptic, I cannot believe something unless I have some
reason to think that it is true. Yet I find that preachers of
materialism can be just as dogmatic as preachers of religion.
“For
example, Steven Pinker claims that a computer that modeled the human
brain would have consciousness like ours because the idea that computers
can have minds is ‘as fundamental to cognitive science as the cell
doctrine is to biology and plate tectonics is to geology’ - which is
like saying you believe God created the universe because it is
fundamental to your religion.
“Pinker thinks he is being
scientific, but science is based on evidence. There is plenty of
evidence for cell doctrine and plate tectonics, but no evidence at all
that computers can have consciousness.”
This book rejects both materialist dogmas and religious…
