Rob McConnell Interviews - MATTHEW ALPER - The God Part of the Brain

Author: REL-MAR McConnell Media Company - www.rel-mar.com June 6, 2023 Duration: 45:29
Ever since he was a young child—when he first realized he was one day going to die—Matthew Alper set himself upon a life quest to ascertain whether or not there exists a spiritual reality, a God. Was he merely a flesh and bone mortal or something more, something that perhaps transcended his purely physical being? After receiving a BA in Philosophy, Matthew continued his unconventional journey working as everything from a photographer's assistant in NYC, an electrician in England, a 5th grade and High School history teacher in Brooklyn, a truck smuggler in Central Africa, and a produced screenwriter in Germany—all the while independently studying the breadth of the life sciences from genetics, biology, anthropology, behavioral neuroscience and more. Once his research yielded what he felt constituted a valid scientific explanation of human spirituality, he wrote, “The ‘God’ Part of the Brain.” Since its initial publication in 1997, Matthew has lectured all over the United States, appeared on NBC tv, been written up in the Washington Post, appeared on numerous radio shows and is a contributor to the anthology "Neurotheology"—an emergent new science of which he is considered one of its chief founders. An outspoken member of the atheist and secular humanist movements, Matthew presently lives in Brooklyn.

This curated The Best of The 'X' Zone Radio/TV Show with Rob McConnell podcast distills that vast archive, presenting conversations where established boundaries seem to dissolve.

What makes this podcast compelling is its long-form, interview-driven format, featuring guests from around the globe who offer perspectives that challenge conventional narratives. The REL-MAR McConnell Media Company presents these episodes not as definitive answers, but as deep dives into the ideas that linger at the edges of our understanding. It’s a space where a topic like the 2012 prophecy or repeated sightings of 11:11 is examined with a serious yet open-minded approach. Tuning in feels less like listening to a standard show and more like accessing a rare library of alternative thought, all guided by McConnell's experienced and steady presence. Each episode invites you to reconsider what you accept as fact, fiction, and the often blurry, fascinating line between them.
