This is a review on Joshua Farris’ 2023 book titled The Creation of Self: A Case for the Soul.

How is belief related to biology, miraculous healing, and the Bible? How can mind override matter?

How can wound healing be affected by our perception of time? A study was recently published by a leading journal of science, called Nature, and it reveals that our minds can override matter.

Have you made multiple trips back and forth between your childhood Christian faith and the unbelief of your adulthood? Listen to my story about finally finding peace with Christ in my early 30’s.

Biological clocks are involved with circadian rhythms that help our bodies and brains keep track of time. Other non-human microorganisms have these time-keeping mechanisms too. So, is the universe acting like a brain that keeps track of time? What does that say about cognition and consciousness?

ChatGPT may be able to help you with your boring legal documents or college essay. But can it truly and authentically satisfy your spiritual concerns?

Quantum entanglement was tested in the brain by scientists from the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience and the University of Dublin tested this. This blog article discusses their findings.

Here, I discuss my interpretation of some recent things that were said by theoretical physicist, Avi Loeb, on the topic of spirituality, science, and the potential for extraterrestrial intelligence.

God visited my atheist friend in the hospital, and he wants to tell you his story.

Here, I want to discuss Antonio Damasio’s perspective of bioelectrical computations of human intelligence that separates us from the intelligence of bacteria. Though Damasio does not appear to be a non-materialist, I gather from him some non-materialist support for mind/consciousness that I think has some relevance to the Christian spiritual neuroscience of Curt Thompson. This leads me to a conclusion about the importance of having the mind of Christ that should shape our social lives and thinking patterns.

Here, I want to explain the perspective of atheist and evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins, who defends a Darwinian understanding of the origins of human morality. He draws some valid parallels between animals and humans but fails to recognize how humans can make distinct moral choices that animals cannot.
