Higher animals all have the same kinds of body parts. Human brains are similar to the brains of other primates and smaller than the brains of whales and elephants. What’s our secret?

What makes one a person or a self? If he or she sees, hears, thinks and feels, is that a person or a self? How can separate perceptions bind together into a coherent mental unity of a single person or self? And how does personhood or self persist through time? If persons are all material, what enables the continuity? Is there a ‘carrier’ of personal identity?

Why do people believe the things they do? We like to think that we are rational, that what we believe is true. But often we come to our beliefs, unknowingly, as a product of our particular ‘belief systems’. How do belief systems work their credulous magic? What principles enable belief systems to influence individuals and commandeer groups?

But does re-naming all-that-exists ‘God’ add understanding? Can the new name make the world ‘sacred’? What is gained, and what is lost, if a theist becomes a pantheist?

Arguments about God, whether based on science, philosophy, theology or personal experience are always fascinating. Those arguments should push and be pushed in order to consider the possible existence of a Creator. We must also consider defeaters of God. For all arguments for and against God, we should explore their assumptions, logic and boundaries.
