God in the Brain or the Brain from God
It is said that there is a special location in the human brain where a man can see a god.
The location called the temporal lobe in the brain judges the space around him by synthesizing information input from the eyes and ears as well as senses of touch. But it was found that when a man starts praying, information coming to the temporal lobe is restricted and prevented. Then, during praying, the man starts to feel space different from ordinary space. Consequently, some people may see a god in this state.
Therefore, some scientists think that a god is something that is created in the human brain. But some person of religion thinks that God gave the function to see God in the human brain.
It is said that there are 100 billion or 200 billion nerve cells (neurons) in central nerves of a human brain. It is natural that that there are few singular cells. And the number of connections of neurons or synapses is said to be 150 trillion. It is natural that there are several singular cell connections.
If God had created the mankind, there must be a possibility that He put some special mechanism in the human brain with which each man can contact with God if he or she wishes. So, part of the mission of medical doctors should to find such a mechanism. However, that a man can feel God by such a mechanism does not mean that God is created by the man; rather it should be thought that God gave such a mechanism to the mankind as a gift for promoting intimacy between the mankind and God.
Yet, it is dangerous to try to activate such a mechanism by use of drugs, chemicals, or such things. It should be activated in a reasonable situation.
For example, when a man is dying, such a mechanism may be naturally activated to make the man prepared for the afterlife or the spiritual universe. So, near-death experiences can be explained from this point of view.
Anyway, it needs a more high-performance computer than existent ones to understand functions of all the 200 billion nerve cells and 150 trillion connections among them.
Nonetheless, there must come a day in the future that a super AI computer presents an image of God before the mankind, if it is not achieved in the 21st century.
