Answer 1

Hmmm... Maybe they were looking in the wrong place. I've always heard that the G spot is slightly lower.

Answer 2

There is a great deal that science does not yet know about the brain. Is there a 'Mom' spot? is there a 'Dad' spot? Is there a 'big brother' spot? To say that there is no God spot doesn't really mean much, because the brain is capable of thinking about so many things that do not need to be tied to a 'spot'. That's one of the things that differentiates man from animals -- we are able to indulge in abstract thought. And thinking about God is very much an abstract thought, as there is no physical evidence that God exists.
But isn't it wonderful that we can do it?

Answer 3

there's a niche the place the ideas stem connects to the spinal twine. it somewhat is the place our over lights factors deliver those impulses that connect the cranial/sacral equipment. The chakras with the attendant antakarana bridge is the actual energetic equipment they are finding for, which they'll quickly discover. There somewhat isn't a might desire to remark on the circuitry of the neural equipment and that of the deeply religious. It recommend's a short circuitry the two way.

Answer 4

I've never believed in a "God Spot" in the brain, however I believe we are genetically tied to God and that cant be proven or disprove by science either.

I couldn't help but noticed they use Catholic Nuns in the study as if they represent the sum of belief in God.., which makes the study faulty to begin with.

A proper study should have consisted of several belief systems within the Christian variances (Catholic, Baptists, Pentecostals, etc) as well as any other religion that professes belief in God AND even a couple from the ranks of those who do not believe in God for a reference to see if these have the so called "God Spot" on the brain as well.

Keep in mind, these studies only show a common "noticed" dynamic and is heavily interlaced with opinions, not dead on facts when it comes to God and things that pertain to him.

Answer 5

I believe the so called "God Spot" is the place where our spirit lives inside of us. When the body dies, whether by old age, disease, accident or homicide or suicide, when it dies, your spirit leaves the body. It's free from the bonds of gravity and all the other things that go along with being tied down on earth in human form. As much as I respect science, and their many discoveries, I don't believe they've come up with a way to physically see the human spirit. It's like two different realms, the physical and the spiritual.

Answer 6

Well, golly, I don't know what to make of it.

It seems pretty self-explanatory--and, as it says, it neither proves nor disproves the existence God but only suggests that when people think of their union with God, multiple things come into play.

I find it interesting. I find that it seems to accurately represent my intuition.

But what does it "do"?

My intuition is that God speaks to the whole being, not to just one little portion of self. This research appears to confirm this.

There are so many variables. I cannot respond in any definitive way.

Except: interesting.

Answer 7

His research doesn't actually tell you anything. I wouldn't expect to find one region that was involved in perception of a religious experience as all those senses would easily fall under other specialized areas. The brain isn't going to have another area, that does all the work of existing areas, just for religious experiences.

I don't understand what this guy thought he would find.

Answer 8

Thank god for that, I was starting to think I must have an abnormal brain. Now I know it's the believers who do.

What about you doggies, you got one?

Answer 9

An intersting article. it makes sense to me that ther would not be one region of the brain that would be a "God Spot" the entire brain was designed by god.

Answer 10

I dont think that what someone else says about a "god spot" should really matter, if you are a firm believer then thats all that you should care about.
