Inherited Behavior and Spiritual Evolution

This chapter explores the inheritance of learned behaviors in animals, particularly mice, and the historical resistance to such ideas within the scientific community. It highlights Darwin's lesser-known theories, including Pangenesis, and examines the interplay between evolution, epigenetics, and religious beliefs about the compatibility of faith and evolutionary theory. Additionally, the chapter reflects on the speaker's spiritual journey, integrating lessons from Indian philosophy and experiences with karma, while critiquing rigid interpretations of Christianity amid evolving cultural practices.
