Neurotheology

NJ.com Article

Neuroscience may be suggesting that our brains are hardwired for religious experience. Perhaps God has designed us to be able to experience Him, or perhaps evolution has given us a means to deal with existential anxieties. Whatever way you look at it, it now seems undeniable that we are capable of interesting specific states of mind which we call spiritual. Perhaps neuroscience will soon be able to give us methods to enter those states more easily. Would you use such tools or would you stay within the bounds of the methods and belief systems prescribed by your religion?
