Christian, atheist scientists tackle human nature

1. I could only watch about 40 minutes of the video - some videos knock my computer down.

Interesting discussion as far as I saw - people can disagree about religion and yet find common ground. The discussion about epigenetics and the possibility of memory traces being passed from parents to children may be the most interesting thing that I heard. The fact that the count of human cells in our body is less than the number of non-human cells is food for thought.

Did they talk about brain structure at all in the last parts of the video? I've been reading Karen Armstrong's Fields of Blood and she talks briefly about that - that our brain consists of part reptilian brain, part the mammalian limbic system, and the quite large neocortex as perhaps the differentiator of the human brain. She sees these three different, somewhat conflicting, parts of the brain as having a significant effect on human nature.
