Another thing that crawled into my mind this morning, linked to this, is the old science vs spirituality argument. Videos like this propose nonbiological, even spiritual explanations for human behavior, outright rejecting more materialistic, scientific explanation. It certainly seems to poke holes in the notion that we are "spiritual beings inhabiting earthly bodies". If that's so, how can we accept evolutionary explanations for our traits or behavior?

I maintain myself that we are capable of meaningful, spiritual emotion; that we have a spiritual side that's quite real. But we're still physical animals, with evolutionarily adapted brains, some more so than others. I don't see how it makes any sense to try to ignore or deny that (or how it negates anything more transcendent).
