Evolution ‘accidently’ left God believing brain cell in us.

Scientists from National Institutes of Health did a study to understand where in the brain religious beliefs seem to be modulated. Their findings, whether culturally adapted or just plain coincidence, there is a region in our brain that response to belief’s stimulant. Snip,

“ Statements based on God's involvement — such as "God protects one's life" or "Life has no higher purpose" — provoked activity in brain regions associated with understanding intent. Statements of God's emotions — such as "God is forgiving" or "the afterlife will be punishing" — stimulated regions responsible for classifying emotions and relating observed actions to oneself. Knowledge-based statements, such as "a source of creation exists" or "religions provide moral guidance," activated linguistic processing centers.”

Does this means, for maybe, a thousand generations, if every single person in the family denied the existence of God, that brain cell will disappear? Just like the Appendix? No wonder human is losing hair.
