a wiser man than myself always tells me that "science and religion start in the same place. Awe and wonder."
Reductionism doesn't suit science well...it is grounded in a terrific curiousity, and the sense for the potential of the universe to be surprising.
Same with religion. If you can tell me about chemical reactions or signals... Why?
We don't understand the brain very well at all...we have a basic working knowledge of the mechanisms...but very little concerning the way in which it functions on higher levels. in the end...i'd much rather give myself space to be surprised, by both God and nature.
