The New York Times has posted an 11-page article called Darwin’s God, which is based on the research of anthropologist Scott Atran. This is not an anti-religion article, but a study on its evolution. Religion comes in many forms, with many supernatural elements, and has existed long before Christianity. Atran delves into the question of why religion formed.

Which is the better biological explanation for a belief in God — evolutionary adaptation or neurological accident?

This weighty article covers a broad variety of subtopics, including his theory on how humans are “hardwired” to believe in the supernatural as a survival mechanism, especially where the afterlife is concerned. The first and foremost fear that most of us have is death. Neither science nor religion has a definitive answer on what happens to our soul once we die.

Many of the world’s leading scientists, researchers and spiritual leaders—from noted physicists like Michio Kaku to the Dalai Lama—are beginning to accept the possibility of alternate realities and dimensions that warp time and space. In “PSIence: How New Discoveries in Quantum Physics and New Science May Explain the Existence of Paranormal Phenomena,” San Marcos, California author Marie D. Jones leads us on a journey to where the “normal” and the paranormal intersect, where the known and unknown converge, where science greets the supernatural.

A longtime investigator of metaphysics and the paranormal, Jones reveals, in layperson’s terms, how the latest discoveries in quantum physics and New Science may explain the existence of UFOs, ghosts, poltergeists, time anomalies, the Bermuda Triangle, energy vortices—and psychic abilities such as ESP and telekinesis. As paranormal researcher and author Nick Redfern said, “Jones takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride into the unknown. Daring to penetrate the shadowy realms that co-exist alongside our own world.” She answers many fascinating questions:

· Are poltergeists energy fluctuations in the Zero Point Field?

· Can the experience of déjà vu be explained by the quantum theory of parallel universes?

· Do thoughts have the energy to move physical objects?

· Is the Zero Point Field the source of all creative energy?

· Can every human being experience the paranormal?

· Do UFOs use wormholes to traverse between universes?

· What are the parallels between ancient religions and modern quantum physics?

The author of Looking For God In All the Wrong Places, as well as hundreds of published articles and essays, Jones is a New Thought/Metaphysics minister and counselor from San Diego (more on Jones at www.warwickassociates/PSIence).

PSIence brings today’s hottest topics together into one book, covering the paranormal, quantum physics and the new science of consciousness studies in a style that is appealing and easy for everyone to comprehend. Simple sidebars and graphics explain complex concepts, and a touch of humor lightens the scienti?c material, resulting in a book as entertaining as it is educational.

Readers interested in mind-body subjects will enjoy the chapters on the role of perception and consciousness in paranormal activity, as well as the power of the mind and the ability of quantum physics to explain some of those powers. New Science fans will delve into the chapters on the Zero Point Field and the current research into the potentially holographic brain and how it parallels the holographic universe theory.

Normally, the title would turn me off because I’ve come to expect a dry tome whenever I come across a science book. That’s not the case with PSIence. According to Amazon reviewers, this book is very reader friendly. Not much else was said, unfortunately, which means that I will have to trust their word and buy the book. From the looks of the sub-topics, this looks like a provocative read.

Deborah Blum has written about a group scientests who, at the turn of the 20th century, endured scorn and ridicule because they believed that science should explore and test the supernatural. This book is another example of how religion and science have always clashed.

Is the Earth singing? If so, I haven’t heard it. But many people have all over the world. I heard about the strange low-frequency hum on the news several years ago, when people in Southern California began hearing it.

The link below will take you to several different sites on the subject of the Earth Humming. You’ll read about the different theories scientists and civilians have regarding the incessant noise, which has caused physical symptoms in some people.

Here’s another interesting article, where one of the theories made me take notice. Could our cordless devices and/or appliances be causing this phenomenon? Scientists aren’t ruling that out.
