Please get a better world view EarnestFrank. If I sit down and manage to write a 20 page booklet predicting the future, I can get at least 10 things right about what's going to happen in the next 500 years (btw, end of religion is in the top of the list).And all your biblical god, with all his super duper powers, wants to predict is petty things like building temples, waging wars and other useless stuff? Even a trained monkey might be able to do better.

And another thing Resonator, try to bring a few new words to the table please. Chakras, 4th, 5th dimension, spirit are all taken, used and abused by thousands of phony gurus and swami's in India. It's pretty old. RIP again and may your soul reach a dimension with no comebacks.

This was a nice talk by Oliver Sacks. I don't know why SS, HerbieP and others are wasting time arguing with Resonator. Resonator is either ill, wicked or just a plain fool. That said, I am going to get a 10 page response from Resonator to my post which I am going to rightfully ignore. The only part I didn't really like about Sack's talk is his lack of interest in militant atheism from Dawkins and Sam Harris. The point here is that, if open minded people simply sit around without ridiculing people like Resonator, this is what we would end up with - wasted time and effort arguing and trying to disprove self proclaimed superman theories and dimensions. Why in the world would I waste my time doing it? I would rather watch "The Matrix" a few more times to get the kick.RIP, Resonator.

Most of the modern day society rules have to be taught to children for it to be followed. There is nothing instinctive about it. Their 'willingness' (for the lack of a better word) to follow those rules have evolutionary origins as we humans have been living in groups for a long time. There is nothing religious about it and no religious texts make a person pay taxes and not commit murder. Ironically both bible and Quran force people to commit murder and do other vulgar activities. The author is wasting his and others time finding links that aren't there.
