    When I said “Sounds to me like the bullcrap part of the Neuroscape that lights up when a person is engaging in believing bullcrap has been discovered.”

    I was not disputing the existence of certain brain activity that connects some individuals with a sense of something sublime or a presence of such.  I was suggesting that if there is some commonality of the neural firing patterns that exist in conjunction with these experiences, then THAT is what I am referring to (descriptively, not to suggest it doesn’t exist).  So what I called the bullcrap part of the Neuroscape, I didn’t mean to say that the existence of that neural phenomenon does not exist, I just mean to label it that because it involves the tendency to believe bullcrap.
