The following article appeared in Psychology Today, July 3, 2021 :
"Is the “God Spot” Rooted Far Below Our Brain’s Thinking Cap? Spirituality and religiosity may be tied to circuits rooted in the brainstem.

Here is the link to the article:

The lead on this is Dr. Michael Ferguson, PhD, a Harvard and Cornell-trained neuroscientist working on neurospirituality.  Below are his citations:

The BIG QUESTION is, how will the findings of Dr. Ferguson's research stand up to peer review. He even teaches a course on neurospirituality at Harvard.  What I find interesting is this kind of research is actually going on.

We may call it legit, or we may call it bogus. Regardless what we call it, it is happening.

I bought Francis Collin's book 'The Language of God'. It arrived in the mail today. 
My first thought: it looks slim for a book that cost me ~20 US dollars!!!
Obviously, 

the more the pages, the greater the book.
The longer the poem, the better the look,
the wetter the phloem, the woodier the xylem, 
the woodier the xylem, the fewer to pile 'em,
compile 'em, file 'em...
so Staunton could turn 'em to bishops and rooks
