Hi Group,
A more sensible and reasoned approach of this convoluted,
rather juvenile assessment about a legitimate area of
research can be found here:
http://www.bibleandscience.com/godpartbrain.htm#Ramachandran
And many more discussions about the natural paralysis
incurred in the dreamtime can be found here and other such
sites:
http://astralvoyage.com/articles/anatomy.html
This stuff has been studied and researched to the nines.
The book, Why God Won't Go Away, by Newberg, D'Aquill, and
Rause is considered seminal in this newly emerging arena of
neuroscience.
