This is a super-lead title to be supported with marketing spend.
Contentious subject matter guarantees widespread publicity. This is
an intelligent response to anti-God Dawkins debate. This is a new
perspective on this incendiary issue. It comes from a popular,
well-respected scientist and psychologist based in the UK, and from
an award-winning columnist. There will be a comprehensive PR
campaign to follow. Does god really exist or is he just a way of
thinking? Is there really a God who cares about you? Is there
really a special reason that you are here? Will your soul live on
after you die? Or, alternatively, are God, souls and destiny simply
a set of seductive cognitive illusions, one that can be accounted
for by the unusual evolution of the human brain? "The God Instinct"
explores how people's everyday thoughts, behaviours and emotions
betray an innate tendency to reason as though God were deeply
invested in their public lives and secret affairs. In this
entertaining and thought-provoking book, Jesse Bering unravels the
evolutionary mystery of why we grapple for meaning, purpose and
destiny in life. He argues that God is not merely an idea to be
entertained or discarded based on the evidence. Nor is God a
cultural invention, an existential band-aid, an opiate of the
masses. Instead, Bering proposes, God is a way of thinking - one
that evolved through our ancestors, millions of years ago, to keep
us in check and give us the edge on our competitors. While a belief
in higher forces may seem ridiculous to some, "The God Instinct"
shows that it is hardwired into our genetic make-up, and carries
with it massive evolutionary benefits.
