If it doesn't instill some sort of reproductive or survival advantage, can it really be considered a beneficial mutation?
Natural selection selects for traits that will benefit reproduction or survival, and it selects against traits that will hinder them.
I can't see how this mutation will do either.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
