Manage episode 382572431 series 2976152
On this all-new episode, Henry welcomes Matthew Alper to the show. Ever since he was a young child—when he first realized he was one day going to die—Matthew Alper set himself upon a life quest to ascertain whether or not there exists a spiritual reality, a God. Independently studying the breadth of the life sciences from genetics, biology, anthropology, behavioral neuroscience and more, his research yielded what he felt constituted a valid scientific explanation of human spirituality, he wrote, The ‘God’ Part of the Brain. He talks to Henry about how his research shows that all humans have a part of the brain from which our spiritual beliefs are generated. Crystal Orona gives some Summer spiritual advice and Henry closes the show with two announcements. One terrible, and the other...well, you decide whether it's good or bad news...
