Discussion 2: 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.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Listen to the Radio Laureate Interview with Dr. Kevin Sharpe: “The Role of Wonder,” in which Dr. Sharpe describes how Science and Religion can coexist.
• Consider how the notion of “wonder” drives both scientific and spiritual thinkers to learn more about the Universe.
• Reflect on how the scientific and spiritual fields might inform and influence one another rather than simply existing in conflict.

With these thoughts in mind:
