Brain vs Belief: Is God a Survival Instinct or the Ultimate Truth? | Science, Psychology & Islam

Описание: Brain vs Belief: Is God a Survival Instinct or the Ultimate Truth? | Science, Psychology & Islam
Is belief in God just a trick of the human brain… or is it a clue pointing toward something real? In this episode of Man vs Religion, we explore the clash — and connection — between the human brain and belief in God. Using neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, cosmology, and Islamic theology, this video breaks down why humans across all civilizations instinctively believe in a higher power. From child psychology and survival instincts to the fine-tuning of the universe and the concept of fitrah in Islam, we examine belief not as blind faith, but as a rational and deeply human response to reality. No preaching. No pressure. Just logic, evidence, and thought-provoking questions that challenge both atheism and blind belief. Watch till the end and decide for yourself: is belief a mental illusion… or a discovery?
