We both know you were responding to my post, not to some post from another time. I foolishly took your bait and went back through the thread again to see where others were talking about the scientific studies of the temporal lobes and their relation to religion. Of course I found none. Perhaps you can point to them directly since I'm obviously blind.
My post was simply to put some cold hard facts out there that can be backed up through repeatable experiments by anyone that has the ability to do so. Nobody else in this thread has added science into the mix in such a specific way. It's all been theories in the absence of facts.
You may not believe in the science, but the people who took part in those experiments beleive that they saw God when their brains were zapped. We can zap them again and they will see God again. Unlike the theory of evolution, it's a repeatable experiment.
You can draw various conclusions from the data, but the data itself is good.
Two obvious conclusions are a) this part of the brain sees God, so God is a hallucination or b) this part of the brain sees God, so God is real.
Perhaps you have a different conclusion?
