Substitious
From The Mind's Past (Michael Gazzaniga - Neuroscientist)
The conclusion that "Biography is fiction-Autobiography is hopelessly inventive" begs the question; why would anyone who knows that this is how the human brain operates put any faith in Scriptures that were written when superstition was accepted as "truth" or "reality"? How is it possible that thousands-of-years-old writings which were written by hyper-superstitious people has any validity or basis in reality?
More to the point, Id like any religious people to give me even one good reason that a rational person should take any of your religious writings seriously.
"There is a special device in the left brain, which I call the interpreter, that carries out one more activity upon completion of zillions of automatic brain processes. the interpreter, the last device in the information chain in our brain, reconstructs the brain events and in doing so makes telling errors of perception, memory, and judgment. The clue to how we are built is buried not just in our marvelously robust capacity for these functions, but also in the errors that are frequently made by reconstruction. Biography is fiction. Autobiography is hopelessly inventive."
The facts of neuroscience shed light on the human brain and, in the book from which this quote is taken, there is hard evidence to support the fact that our brains reconstruct event based on individual perceptions, memory, and judgments.
