What can we infer about various forms of religious experience from scientific investigations carried out by neuroscience?
Religious Experience
-
religion is dependent on the physical but it is not reducible to the physical - experience and inquiry (Cam)
Normativity (Cam)
one cannot logically derive an ought from an is. One cannot justify norms (what ought to be the case) by appeal to facts (what is the case)
-
the causal descirption simply tells us the mechanism by which the normative function is performed or executed

Neuroscience
-
-
-
-
-
a confusiong between the cause of an experience and a cause of some kind of signalling and processing that may occur when the subject is having the experience
the fact that one is having an experience does not necessarily mean that neural processes and structures in the brain alone are 'giving rise' to that experience
-
-
neurotheology: brain creates mind and the two are essentially the same thing from a different point of view
Several ways that the brain could produce consciousness that constitutes religious experience (Hick)
