From a very interesting article featured in Newsweek.
** For all the tentative successes that scientists are scoring in their search for the biological bases of religious, spiritual and mystical experience, one mystery will surely lie forever beyond their grasp. They may trace a sense of transcendence to this bulge in our gray matter. And they may trace a feeling of the divine to that one.
BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT THEY WILL NEVER RESOLVE THE GREATEST QUESTION OF THEM ALL—NAMELY, WHETHER OUR BRAIN WIRING CREATES GOD, OR WHETHER GOD CREATED OUR BRAIN WIRING.
Which you believe is, in the end, a matter of faith.**
Belief is not what mind possesses, it is what possesses the mind!
