Wonder and the "God Spot"

In the interview this week, Dr. Sharpe explores the relationship between science and the spirit, and discusses how the two realms can coexist with one another. One possible bridge between scientific and spiritual thinking consists of the so-called "God spot," which Dr. Sharpe describes as the neurological drive to comprehend the "big picture" of the Universe. At the heart of this drive rests humanity's wonder at the Universe, and this wonder is shared by both scientific and spiritual thinkers alike.
