Neuroscientist Explains Why Your Brain Invented God — Challenge Him LIVE

Why does the feeling of God's presence feel so real, so overwhelming, so impossible to argue against? Neuroscientist Dr. John C. Wathey (PhD, UC San Diego) has spent decades studying this question, and his answer is one of the most original explanations for religious belief ever proposed. The feeling of God isn't supernatural. It's a phantom sensation, directly analogous to the phantom limb of an amputee, generated by neural circuitry that evolved to bond infants to their mothers. When adults pray with raised hands, they're unconsciously mimicking the posture of an infant reaching for its mother. When believers "feel the Spirit," the same brain region that drives addiction and maternal longing is lighting up. The infant brain is wired to expect a loving, all-knowing presence that responds to its cries. When that circuitry gets reactivated in adulthood through crisis, ritual, or desperation, the brain generates the compelling illusion of God. LIVE with MythVision and Dr. John C. Wathey.
