The Gods Were Astronauts...IV

Written by ERICH VON DANIKEN

"...A human being is a psychosomatic unit. Now, neurological studies explain what is taking place in our "neuro-transmittor", the brain, and we can even make visible those electric impulses in the brain. But we do not know how they arise. Science and religion are working in the same human being. What is this spirit inside us that makes possible imagination, curiosity and even causes healing?
So where does the spirit come from? This is both a scientific and a theological question. Science gives answers to questions on the Big Bangs, on black holes and the expansion of the universe. Religious philosophers would like to know whether we are alone in the universe and whether creation only happened because of humankind.
Science and religion are actually compatible, just so long as religion is not dogmatic. Is there an intelligent designer behind the cosmos? Is God the first (and last) source for our whole behaviour? Even for our scientific curiosity?..."
