Does God exist? Do we have a soul? Is it possible to make contact with a spiritual realm? How should we respond to the divine? Will life continue beyond death? Most people, whether deeply religious or outright doubters of any spiritual power, have probably pondered these questions for themselves. In fact, the religious impulse is so powerfully pervasive that neuroscience has posed a provocative question: Are our brains wired to worship?
Now, in a series of 24 riveting lectures from an award-winning scholar and practicing neuroscientist, you can explore the exciting field of neurotheology - the new discipline aimed at understanding the connections between our brains and different kinds of religious phenomena. Using an academic, experimental approach into what he calls “objective measures of spirituality,” Professor Newberg attempts to explain what others have previously only guessed at: the neuroscientific basis for why religion and spirituality have played such a prominent role in human life.
In these captivating lectures, you’ll learn how religious experiences originate, their meaning, and the reasons why religion plays such a huge role in human experience - peering directly into the seat of all human thought and action as you delve into the relationship between brain function and spirituality.
A leading researcher in neurotheology, Professor Newberg offers you innovative approaches to ancient beliefs and practices. Using brain imaging and other cutting-edge physiological studies, he helps you to better understand how the brain controls or responds to religious and spiritual beliefs and behavior.

Does God exist? Do we have a soul? Is it possible to make contact with a spiritual realm? Will life continue beyond death?
No, no, no and no.

@ISeededForDays, the course investigates the biology of why humans ask those questions, not the questions themselves. That much is obvious from the description.

Okay, uphold your answer of no and use evidence and logic to disprove those questions.
Otherwise, it’s not “no” it’s “I don’t believe so.” and “To me there is not sufficient or compelling evidence to prove any of that as true.”
A gnostic atheist claiming their answer as fact has just as much burden of proof as a gnostic theist.

Well some answers can be based out of other axioms. Descartes ‘I think therefor I am’ goes to the point of having a soul or a will. Having a will leads to a ‘god’ (i.e. *I* am my own god, I need no others). Spiritual Realm, define spirit, take the american indians idea of spirits and then yes. Will life continue beyond death? That’s what ideologies are for or your genetic offspring depending on how you roll.
never really saw any need for anything outside of myself to believe in but am fascinated that others seem to.

Religious faith of god is subjective and deeply emotional, truth is not.
We don’t need to consider if gods might actually exist, because that is contradictory to what we know about gods being human-created and not real.
God’s behaviors and morals are the same as the time and place where they were invented, with the cultural superstitions, values and prejudices of the time. This indicates they were made up.
Holy doctrines of various religions remain the only source of information of who or what god is supposed to be, and they contradict each other.
