i'm still on that quest

the replies in this thread haven't given me a satisfactory explanation

i was hypothesizing God is a faction of neuroscience

seems not that many people here are that adept at neuroscience

How do you suggest to prove God is a result of neuroscience? I'm also of the belief that God exists only in our minds (which are generated by our physical bodies), but it's not exactly an easy thing to prove. However, I do think I mentioned an area of the brain that, when sufficiently stimulated, can cause extreme religious experiences. Some epileptics have intense religious experiences due to their condition.

Here's a news article on the subject : BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - God on the Brain

Is this proof that God is an idea generated by our physical bodies? Probably not; at least not sufficiently to convince the opposition.
