Dr.
Andrew Newberg is a pioneer in
neuro-theology, an attempt to explain religious experiences in neuro-scientific terms. But what can neuroscience tell us about God? Newberg claims that the experiences of believers are "
neurologically real."
The argument, then, seems to run roughly like this:
- If God experiences are neurologically real, then God is real.
- God experiences are neurologically real.
- Therefore, God is real.
What do you make of this argument? Is it sound?
