Some months back, Samantha wrote about her experiences with the "God module"
in her brain. (Hey, I've got one of those, too!) Now some neuroscientists at
the U of Penn. believe they have discovered the areas of the brain in which
this module operates.

beliefs
......
"The human brain has been genetically wired to encourage religious beliefs."
- BOOK EXCERPT
"The absorption of the self into something larger [is] not the result of
emotional fabrication or wishful thinking."
- NEWBERG AND D'AQUILI
"As long as our brain is wired as it is," says Newberg, "God will not go
away."
