Too easy. Spiritual feelings (without any supernatural conclusion necessarily involved) can be achieved in normal brains. See for instance here. Also an undamaged brain generates the illusion of free agency which is suggesting dualism to us. Should we therefore conclude that the part responsible for it is a malfunctioning freak of nature?
