Reviewed By Stuart Nachbar A Guide to Evolution and SpiritualityWritten by a physician and scientist, David Coming’s Did Man Create God? is a highly detailed book that substantiates theories of evolution while also discussing how spirituality is important to evolution. That’s a challenging task for any physician or scientist, but Comings, who is a neuroscientist, behavioral and molecular geneticist, appears more than up to it. Comings work is the perfect read for people who share some of his expertise, or those who serve an academic or policy organization committed to evolution. But it’s too demanding and too detailed to be more than a reference book for the rest of us.
 Did Man Create God Being a non-scientist, but also interested in the politics of evolutionary theory and religion, I found myself skipping to find major points throughout the book. Fortunately, Comings provides extremely detailed drawings, as well as brightly highlighted conclusions. Among the more interesting scientific chapters were the proof of transitional forms in fossil records of varied species and human organs, such as the human eye; transitional forms provide evidence that species do evolve and adapt to their environments. Transitional forms are also evidence to refute the idea of a super-natural creator or intelligent designer.
Comings takes his science beyond evolution to prove that man created religion. As one example, he discusses the centers of the brain—temporal lobes—that cause man to have religious experiences, for instance hearing spiritual voices. He states, with scientific proof, that Temporal lobe epilepsy and its spiritual manifestations may have played a major role in the religious conversions of many historical figures and in the origin of several religions. |
