Scientific Reductionism Vs Human Mystery

I crime from a family that spends a lot of time debating and disclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. I like what Sir John Eccles has to say:

 

I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim to promissory materialism, to account eventually for all the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as superstition... we have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains existing in a material world.   (Sir John C. Eccles - 1903-1997)

John's Bio: Sir John Carew Eccles, AC FRS^[4] FRACP FRSNZ FAAS (27 January 1903 – 2 May 1997) was an Australian neurophysiologist who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the synapse. He shared the prize with Andrew Huxley and Alan Lloyd Hodgkin.
