The Final Paradigm - Tragedy, Religion, Knowledge and Folly in Our Neuro-Mechanical Life (Paperback)

,
A hardcover edition is available through BookSurge. To cite a reviewer: "This probably is the most important and most convincing book ever written explaining the underlying and basic bio-mechanical nature of mankind. . . . . Yet despite this, the most surprising conclusion is that religion is not just folly, as some recent "enlightened" authors have claimed, but that it stems from the mechanical brain's attempt at compensating for a problem that arose when our growing intelligence created a conflict between the humanly created, run-away world, and the natural one." Another one said: "Torn between his animal heritage-the "old," genetically determined brain-and the "new" neocortical mind with its capacity for learning, constructing, communicating, man finds himself in today's dire predicament." And a Campus Pastor added: "It is the kind of book I think every student in higher education should read and remember." It is for everyone who uses his or her brain to think.
