It must be telling that Sheldrake's biography is attacked by the same group that attacked his theory of morphic resonance. The theory explains how past behaviors have the ability to shape future behaviors of organisms. Its a fairly interesting theory that goes on to talk about the shaping of whole cultures and and down to the smallest molecules of existence. His book on the subject of morphic resonance had the journal Nature calling it “the best candidate for burning there has been for many years.”
It must be one good book indeed and the pseudoskeptics only contribute to the interest in Sheldrake's theory by attacking it! I remember reading his "Science Set Free" book and thought it gave well-reasoned arguments against current orthodox science. I've never actually believed (or assumed) that science has all the answers to everything as the guerilla skeptics apparently believe. Whats life without some mystery, without the cosmic force to run through it all? Why or how would anyone deny that possibility of such a thing?
Science is a methodology and not a belief system yet the skeptics treat it that way. Theirs is an ideology just like any fanatical religious group though they claim "critical thinking" and "rationality". They dismiss intuition, emotional intelligence, and consciousness due to their need to have science "explain everything". Both sad and ridiculous.
