No God module?

More like god synchrony
A University of Montreal team found Christian mystical experiences are mediated by several brain regions.
...
They found increased activity in at least 12 regions of the brain, including areas normally involved with self-consciousness and emotion.
of course, the unnecessarily necessary qualifier quote...
This does not diminish the meaning and value of such an experience and neither does it confirm or disconfirm the existence of God.
Actually I think it both disconfirms and confirms the existence of God equally.

Although, apparently it does tell us something...
Father Stephen Wang, a Catholic priest teaching at Allen Hall Seminary in London, said: "These brain studies can give us fascinating insights into how the human body and mind and spirit inter-connect, but they should not make us think that prayer and religious experience are just an activity in the brain."
Yes, we now know that the spirt must inter-connect with 12 areas of the brain instead of just tapping into one are. Truly mysterious.
