“I just finished reading this book. As it happens I was reading "Soul Made Flesh" at the same time. The resonance between the two was quite astounding., even down to the page count. They both ended up in a review of current analysis techniques of the brain, but the disparity in the approach was marked, Harris concentrating on the dangers of faith the well being of the current world and Zimmer describing how religious conflict pervaded17th century England, yet science somehow managed to lay the groundwork for a modern understanding of the brain, the mystery of the soul and the need for the world to finally understand how dangerous belief without evidence really is.”
