One God, No Gods, and Everything In Between: The Evolution of Belief Part 2

What happens when belief meets evidence? In Part 2, we explore the rise of monotheism, the shift toward inner spiritual philosophies like Buddhism and Hinduism, and how major world religions spread across civilizations. Then everything changes. Science begins to challenge long-held beliefs, reshaping how we understand the universe, life, and ourselves. But even as evidence grows, belief doesn’t disappear—it evolves. From ancient gods to modern theories like simulation theory and consciousness beyond death, this episode explores why humans still believe—and whether we ever stopped asking the same questions.
