Evolutionary Psychologist: Religion is an "Adaptation" but not a "Universal Acid"




Intelligent Design The Future show

Summary: On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin discusses recent comments by evolutionary psychologist Matt Rossano disclaiming the idea that evolution poses any threat to belief in God. Yet in his recent book Supernatural Selection: How Religion Evolved, Rossano contends that religion evolved as an adaptation and was not created by God. "The more we understand evolution, the less it seems neither like the bogey man creationists fear nor the universal god-dissolving acid some atheists crave." Join Luskin as he unpacks Rossano's conflicting viewpoints and adds some interesting points of his own.
