Wow! I have been reading the comments in the newspapers carrying the news item and I love the responses!

On this front (charitable work, "good work") the student Humanist Society at the Uni of Edinburgh runs Humanist Blood Drives every 3 months. :D It is one way to answer the question: "If you don't believe in God, then why would you do anything altruistic/good? Atheists do not feel any motivation to h...

Some of us are fighting a similar battle in Scotland. Your event seems very interesting and I would like to ask whether there will be some sort of summary or report of the main points for those of us too far to attend. Will an article about the event/debate be published anywhere? or will the whole t...

It is a pleasure to see that most unsatisfactorily (auch) explained questions deal with events that Neuroscience is learining about. Did I mention that I am a Neuroscientist? :D I love these enigmas and my colleagues and I enjoy reading about them in magazines like Scientific American Mind. http://w...

Dear all, Just on the topic, I am writing to let you know that the Humanist Society at the University of Edinburgh (based at the Chaplaincy of such uni) is actively pursuing the introduction of a Humanist Honorary Chaplain to the list of Chaplains that the UoE hosts.

Roger, please tell me more about this business of all the neurons being replaced. I thought neurons could not be replaced the way skin cells are replaced. I mean ever second billions of skin cells are dying and are getting replaced with new ones (this includes cells in the gut). Thank you for spici...

To a brain scientist like myself monism is a "doohh!". However, the materialistic alternative is even cooler than most people realize. So, yes, the mind is a product of the nervous system and only the nervous system. But, what is in the nervous system that makes the mind? The atoms and molecules in ...

I've just signed up for this and had been thinking about Organ Donation in relation to the philosophy of being a Humanist. It seems to me that every person that calls themself a Humanist should sign up for this. Humanists do not believe in the supernatural or an afterlife, so on what basis would a ...

Wheels - I would love to do something more 'active' and have toyed with the idea of setting up some kind of Humanist group here at the Uni to act as a balance to the number of 'faith' groups that there are. However between work, study and feeding my boy aka - "the bottomless pit", I don't know that...
