if so then its not god as i have said all along

according to some scientific research certain so called 'incidents' maybe attributed to the way the individuals brain works in people who are susceptible to religious beliefs

apparently some patients were tested who had religious experiances and those that had a condition called temporal lobe epilepsy and those without

the scientist measured skin resistence in both sets of people and found a dramatic change in people who had the condition

"We found to our amazement that every time they looked at religious words like God, they'd get a huge galvanic skin response."

this was the first time evidence showed that there was significant activity in the temporal lobe that was linked to religious 'visions'
