Neuroscience is a a bunch of woo at this point.
"Something's happening in the brain. We can see because of the blood flow."
"OK, but what's happening."
"We don't know, but we'll assume it's related to this region of the brain that seems to be associated with a certain function."
All this is beside the point any way. He's an idiot because he thinks being "smart" means he can just walk into a field he's unfamiliar with and turn everything upside down without even doing a little homework on it. The is/ought problem has been a bugbear of philosophy for centuries for a reason. Many people smarter than Harris have tried to address it and found it impossible to resolve. What has Harris done for atheism besides shit on Islam (which anyone who's not retarded and has even the tiniest balls can do) and made some snappy one liners. What substantial arguments has he contributed to the debate about religion and non-religion?
Dawkins has written multiple books that not only take down religion, but demonstrate how much of a triumph science is (in a way that's accessible to the layman). Hitchens was happy to call out religious people on shit that even most atheists don't want to speak up about, like Mother Theresa being a shit and circumcision being mutilation. Dennet is unimpressive, but at least he's not shitting in his hand and juggling the turds. Harris describes himself as spiritual, for fuck's sake and gets caught up in retarded arguments about inconsequential shit like free will.
