[Newberg’s] cogent culinary comparison: Eating an apple pie produces certain mental phenomena—for example, the enjoyment of the little raisins sprinkled in—going along with certain brain processes, which the neurologist can observe (“This is your brain on apple pie”). But, of course, the fact that these brain processes exist does not mean that the apple pie is a delusion. (To be even more pedantic: we cannot demonstrate the existence of the apple pie with absolute certainty, either.)

The biggest of all big questions, whether God exists or not, cannot be answered by way of biotheological studies. Whether God created our brain—and, thereby, our ability to recognize him—or whether our brain created God will remain a matter of faith. Once again, the ontological sixty-fourthousand-dollar question leads to a dead end—but at least keeping with the times, using the high-tech methods of brain research. And, after all, the atheist acting enlightened also only believes that God does not exist.
