A dogma with a scientific facade?

Pinker may be a bit hasty in concluding that neuroscience has delivered a deathblow to the soul by failing to recognize a powerful force of consciousness: faith. Crick (1994) acknowledged that his Astonishing Hypothesis lacked evidence; however, Pinker seems to insist that no evidence is sufficient for calling an end to “dogma.” Pinker appears to be unconscious of the faith he demonstrates by hoping for some future “genius” who will force new morality on humanity by proving there is no soul. In short, Pinker seems to be attempting to disprove dogma with his dogma that he says he cannot prove. The mystery of consciousness seems to survive.
