Beyond Belief session 4--VS Ramachandran

The temporal lobe epileptic hypotheses didn’t really say that much in relation to God. He only stated the four hypotheses and did not really have any conclusions on them. He only really talked in depth about one of them and did not state what the real conclusion was. By stating that some people get stimulated by religious symbols does not say anything scientific about the possibility of God.

It was interesting when he was talking about the people with split brains. I wonder what that persons personality would be like and if they would actually have two of them. Is there any connection between the two half’s of the brain? Can they communicate with one another? They would have to work together to do simple tasks such as walking or even seeing. Is there really two separate brains?
