Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
We all indeed, I take it, experience these moments of numinosity, 'Mystic experience', call it what you will, when we feel as if some profound thought or experience is hovering on the verges of the mind if only one could just grasp what it was ~~ it is how I always interpret Edward Thomas's exquisite poem "Adlestrop"*. But I have always taken it that there is some neurological explanation for it, rather than that it is proof of the existence of any sort of Divinity.
