When it comes to spirituality, I am indifferent to science.
Logically, the two are mutually exclusive.

Don't forget Kant and Voltaire.

I don’t know that any of them are correct. I do like the idea that man in his infinite arrogance will try to define in human terms who and what God is not only for himself but for every living being.

Spirituality is a moral faith based belief.
Science is a real world fact based belief.

Science is based on a hubris belief that man can understand the infinitely unfathomable.
Spirituality is based on the non-egotistical* belief that man cannot control the events in the universe.

* Not intrusive in the display of one's own personality or interpretation; not centred on or obtrusive in reference to oneself.
Characterized by a lack of self-interest; altruistic; beyond the merely physical or instinctive; spiritual.

The GOD Gene

The God gene hypothesis proposes that human spirituality is influenced by heredity and that a specific gene, called vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), predisposes humans towards spiritual or mystic experiences.
The idea has been proposed by geneticist Dean Hamer in the 2004 book called The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes.

The God gene hypothesis is based on a combination of behavioral genetic, neurobiological and psychological studies.
The major arguments of the hypothesis are:
(1) spirituality can be quantified by psychometric measurements;
(2) the underlying tendency to spirituality is partially heritable;
(3) part of this heritability can be attributed to the gene VMAT2;
(4) this gene acts by altering monoamine levels; and
(5) spirituality provides an evolutionary advantage by providing individuals with an innate sense of optimism.

Experiences of 'ultimate reality' or 'God' confer lasting benefits to mental health: The encounter experiences, whether spontaneous or originated by a psychedelic, resulted in similar positive impact

What kind of creator creates a being with the knowledge of understanding how limited they are?

I don’t understand this statement.

 

[Integrity]

NO if you were raise brainwashed by parents in the event that isn't logically correct

I understand the no part. I don’t understand the rest of your reply.

Free Will is a spiritual concept/experience ... not a scientific or quantum matter.
I suggest to never mix spiritual concepts and scientific concepts.

I really don’t understand the point of your suggestion, would you mind elaborating a little. I am interested in it.
