Abstract

Science, religion and philosophy should ultimately come together like the meridians at the pole. —Attributed to Fr. Pierre Theilhard de Chardin. The idea that Mind came first is as old as Mankind׳s creation myths but Science usually sets it aside the better to study nature׳s machinery. Brain-First seems to have gelled nowadays as the only acceptable scientific worldview.
