Is God Non-Physical?

Wrong, the mri scan i showed was one of several nuns who volunteered for the scan to measure their love of god

I would appreciate if you show the link about these nuns.

As far as I know, the MRI results were done in China [Gina - according to Trump]

Professor Xiaochu Zhang, leader of the study at the University of Science and Technology of China, and researchers from Southwest University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, N.Y., sought to see how exactly romantic love affects the functional architecture of the brain. A total of 100 men and women, divided into three groups — those who were intensely in love, recently ended a romantic relationship, or single and never had a romance — underwent a brain scan. There were no significant differences found in age, education, or income.

The brain activity of all the participants was investigated using resting state fMRI while they weren’t thinking about anything. This was done to help scientists get the overall picture of their functional architecture. The brain map found a variety of results among the three groups.

The findings revealed, compared to other groups, those within the in-love group had more increased activity across several brain regions involved in reward, motivation, emotion, an social functioning. Moreover, the researchers found the longer they had been in love, the greater the brain activity seen. Those in the ended-love group were more likely to show a lower amount of activity detected in these areas of the brain.

You kiss trump, i would rather be eaten alive in a pit of ravenous slugs

At least we agree on one thing - he is really a horrible horrible man.

'God spot' researchers see the light in MRI study

Brain scans of nuns have revealed intricate neural circuits that flicker into life when they feel the presence of God.

The images suggest that feelings of profound joy and union with a higher being that accompany religious experiences are the culmination of ramped-up electrical activity in parts of the brain.

The scans were taken as nuns relived intense religious experiences. They showed a surge in neural activity in regions of the brain that govern feelings of peace, happiness and self-awareness. Psychologists at the University of Montreal say the research, which appears in the journal Neuroscience Letters, was not intended to confirm or deny the existence of God, but set out to examine how the brain behaves during profound religious experiences.


This opens a new level of "G spot."
It means these nuns' intense religious experiences could be detected.
But nowhere in the article that it is about love.
It is a good read though.

profound joy and union spells love for me

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
The English translations use the same word, image, in both Genesis 1:26 and Luke 20:24

That's because the meaning is the same. The image of Caesar was stamped onto coins just as what was formed into the image of God was called "man"
What does this have to do with the price of tea in China? A translation is still inferior to the original language text. By nature.
