Time magazine chimes in with another attempt to explain man’s character and tendencies by the physical structure and chemistry of brains. This and most of the popular science articles analyzing brains to understand man’s nature and tendencies, remind of the nothing so much as the ancient alchemists – each convinced that he could or would discover secrets of gold and how it is made.
Someone already made all these things, with unique attention to man, and the accounts of the making he has provided are so devoid of chemistry, physics or physiology as to put the thoughtful person on notice that the most important origins, elements and purposes of man do not appear in the test tube, the microscope, or the space probe.
Perhaps William Cowper said it best: “Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his works in vain. God is his own interpreter and he will make it plain.” “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” — I Corinthians 2:9.
