I don't really believe this, though alot of studies arn't actually accurate nor scientific at all, alot of them are done just for agenda reasons. According to this then people who don't have "God spots" would be kind of disabeled because that part of their brain wouldn't work, however that's simply not possibe because there have been atheists who have become religious and religious people who bacame atheists.

It's all a matter of faith, though I do think everyone is born with a conciousness and the knowledge of God/Creator. Just some people choose not to recognise it.

[QUOTE="Kocelot"]

Half the world seems to be missing 'common sense' spots as well. :\

The problem with common sense is that many things we would think are true based upon it simply aren't. For instance, the sky is not blue, ice is less dense than water, what goes up does NOT have to come down, and vitamins can be bad for you.

If the world were not complex then simple common sense would work, but it's not so generally common sense is used as a way to describe peoples' pre-existing assumptions about how things SHOULD work, whether or not that is actually how they DO work.

Those examples are not common sense, they are common (mis)conceptions. Common sense is about logical axioms. If P implies Q, then Q doesn't necessarily imply P, but non Q definitely implies non P. This is common sense because it can't be proven, but it's stupidly obvious that it's true. So common sense is correct for the most part.

How else are you going to hold beliefs, if not for some part of the brain?
