Scientists claim that temporal lobe epilepsy is the reason for religious hallucinations that gave rise to mystical and spiritual prophecies.

It's an interesting video.

I heard about that, but I think there could be many factors involved in those reported religious visions (including plain old lying).

I think it's probably due to a profound subjective experience that people seem inclined to call spiritual in some way. Of course, subjective experience isn't exactly a good source for concluding anything definitively.

Conversely, as far as I know, they could actually be blessed with a spiritual connection.
