Spirituality from the perspective of science books
Ranked #6,295 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #219,703 overall
Important topics in science and religion
Few physicists agree or even care about how you should change your life. They care about how minuscule particles interact, how to predict what they do, and how to develop theories about what we don't yet know about electrons and protons and such.
In other words - this collection of books is meant to help you decide for yourself what you believe and what is true.
In other words: books by scientists about the themes that most concern us: God, Evolution, the Mind and more.
Quantum Gods
Creation, Chaos, and the Search for Cosmic Consciousness
Also tries to talk about the kind of God that DOES confirm with quantum mechanics - not the best part of the book I think, but still interesting.
The Accidental Mind
How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and God
The Meme Machine
An interesting if controversial look at what makes humans different from other animals: culture.
The underlying thread is: much human behavior (nuns, monks, homosexuals) can't be explained from a strictly evolutionary perspective. If we're evolutionarily designed to have kids, all of us, there would not be people who decline that pleasure for the sake of spirituality of sex with someone of the same sex. So why do people have those behaviors then? Well, says Blackmore, because they're replicating memes instead of genes.
