I think it’s a conspiracy that AI can’t make good conspiracy jokes.

Why did the conspiracy theorist break up with the grammar enthusiast?

Because he couldn’t handle all the unchecked punctuation marks – he kept thinking they were secret symbols planted by the government!

It looks like it knows us better than we may like to admit:
“…due to a combination of biological instincts and cultural influences.”

I blame the mushrooms. The root of the knowledge of good and evil.. The first conspiracy theory, imagination itself.
When we lived in the darkness of Africa, we lived blissfully unaware of the concept of existential crisis. We ate, slept and mated without any fear of anything other then the fear of the moment, as soon as danger passed, we just moved on.
The apple-like mushrooms that grew became our most common food source as an ice age moved in, we hid in cave to escape the cold and lived on the meat like substance. A few died, but most lived, and as we feed, it released Pysilcybin into our bodies, making us see things that were not there, developing our imagination, the root of dreams and nightmares.
We began to fear the darkness and think about death and wonder what happens after.
We left Africa, moving north to the open plains, where we felt safe, where we could see dangers, approaching from miles away. We began to build structures, instead of using what nature gave us, we discovered fire and gathered things, knowing that we made need them at a later time.
Drugs… or God…

I mean, those are your options.

If you believe in the stoned-ape conspiracy theory.

It’s not the chicken or the egg. Did God give us drugs, or did drugs give us God?

You didn’t mention the Annunaki though:

Dreams have always been a thing (even animals dream), and something that is a common thread in them is seeing passed loved ones. It is comforting to think that there is something more to this life and that we will continue. Seeing the deceased in dreams is far more common than seeing God in a psychedelic trip. Good or evil is a modern construct compared to cooperation and pooling of resources to increase chances of survival. In a group if you stole or harmed others then you were dealt with severely or cast out. Ancestor worship was indeed a thing and is even still practiced to this day. The problem with the drug - god argument is that the drugs only effect the person using them and they don’t affect the offspring of the user. Yes they can open up the user to things not normally seen and that can seem like something that was planned but we also have natural pain relievers and poisons. It’s more likely that evolving on the same planet with the same commonalities has more to do with why things do what they do. For every psychedelic mushroom or useful plant that could be seen as a gift from God, there is this plant that drives everything mad due to the intense pain:

Maybe God is just a prankster if one wants to look at it that way:

True, good points.
For those that believe in the concept of things evolving… there is a belief that things came about by many organisms forming into a super organism, were the parts become a part of the whole, think “human-centipede” but with micro-organisms. Better yet, don’t.
But regardless, the idea is that over time, the new thing, on a cellular level, learned how to make the parts needed for the survival of the whole.
This belief continues to the idea that our bodies make chemicals on it’s own, that originally came from food, but your cells learned how to make something similar when the food is gone or limited, in order to survive. The main idea being that our body so closely does the function of things found in nature.

So, if fed the magic mushrooms long enough, our bodies developed the ability to create it’s own and a part of the brain developed that makes this chemical in a fashion.

They have done studies that talks about a part of the brain that is only activated during prayer or deep meditation, no time else.

They don’t understand this part, or why it was developed.

Original Question: Is there a region in the brain that is activated while praying to God?

Yes, there are several, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they’ve been nicknamed ‘god spots’, and they show up quite clearly when many (but not all) people who are quite religious either pray or are questioned about their religious beliefs when inside an fMRI scanner..

Interestingly, and no-one yet knows why there’s this correlation, they’re exactly the same regions of the brain which show activity when someone suffering from schizophrenia is undergoing one of their delusional episodes.

Not sure about all that, it was pulled from a Quora, post, but I do recall a show of the history channel or NOVA and they were talking about God in the brain.

There are a lot of Prankster gods out there, maybe he’s a little bit Loki, and a little bit Thor.

Tulpas are great. Or scary, ancient Jewish folklore.
Golem. A being brought to life by thought and prayer.

The most fun is that every spookum is Tulpa. Bigfoot, Tulpa, Aliens, Tulpa, Ghosts, Tulpa.
