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.
