Биологический взгляд Майкла Шермера на природу веры в Бога

Биологический взгляд Майкла Шермера на природу веры в Бога

Abstract

The article presents a scientific and skeptical position of M. Shermer concerning biological preconditions of existence of religion and faith in God. It is shown that from an evolutionary point of view, the belief in the supernatural is of great importance for our species in the formal consolidation of the group norms of behavior and natural selection. Correlation between the tendency to self-transcendence and the content of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine which levels are caused genetically is disclosed.

В статье представлена научно-скептическая позиция М. Шермера относительно биологических предпосылок существования религии и веры в Бога. Показано, что с эволюционной точки зрения вера в сверхъестественное имела большое значение для нашего вида при формальном закреплении норм поведения и групповом естественном отборе. Раскрыта корреляционная связь между склонностью к самотрансценденции и содержанием таких нейромедиаторов, как серотонин и допамин, уровень которых обусловлен генетически.
