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.

Searching For the God Within

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

away."
