Summary
Jesse Bering: The Instinct for God
Why do even the most ardent atheists turn to God when a family member falls seriously ill or when they find themselves in imminent danger? With the help of the latest scientific evidence, evolutionary psychologist Jesse Bering investigates how people's everyday thoughts, behavior and feelings reveal an inner tendency to think about God that deeply affects their public and private lives.
The book Instinct for God vividly and brilliantly argued explains the psychology of belief. Jesse Bering reveals that we all have an inner tendency to believe in God or gods who control our destiny, who judge us during life and plan our afterlife, and this "God Instinct" is actually a product of our evolutionary heritage. Referring to the latest scientific research, as well as to literature, philosophy, and even pop culture, the author claims in the book that this religious reflex is not an irrational deviation and that belief in God is not a product of culture or an existential "band-aid", but a complex cognitive illusion that developed over millennia and strongly and positively influenced evolution. In addition to presenting serious ideas in an understandable and interesting way, Jesse Bering starts from an approach that is more thoughtful and rational than the extreme positions that are so often expressed on the other sides of this great debate.
