The Spiritual Brain

The Spiritual Brain explores the origin of religious experiences, challenging the idea that they only come from the firing of neurons. Neuroscientist Mario Beauregard provides evidence that these events have a non-material origin and suggests that it is God who creates these spiritual experiences, not the brain. Beauregard and O'Leary also criticize attempts to locate a "God gene" or claim that our brains are hardwired for religion. They argue that these efforts are misguided and fail to capture the true essence of spiritual experiences. By exploring the latest neurological research, The Spiritual Brain provides a fresh perspective on phenomena such as intuition, willpower, and near-death experiences, offering a compelling case for the existence of a higher power.
