The brain, which operates on electromagnetic impulses, is as much an activity of the universe as are the electromagnetic storms in the atmosphere or on a distant star. Therefore science is one form of electromagnetism that spends it time studying another form…science is god explaining god through a human nervous system…isn’t spirituality the same thing? Deepak Chopra
About This Quote

When neurotheology says that the mind is a product of the universe, it does not claim that there is no place for spirituality or God in science. Rather, it argues that the mind is a created by the universe and therefore requires some explanation. The purpose of science is to explain what happens in the world. Spiritual practices are attempts to understand our place in the world.

They are attempts to connect with the universal mind. But they are not attempts to explain everything about what happens in the universe. Science can explain many aspects of our lives, but it cannot explain everything about the mind or spirituality.
