    cool, so, what are all your thoughts on the god gene & god clump or whstever it is, i read in some threads today that scientists have discoverd a part of the frontal lobe that seems active in those who beleive in god (wonder if it was tested against varois religions) but shows no activity in athiests & another 1 wsa specific gene that causes you to be more likely to beleive in god
    to me this suggests our religuioss fate is sealed before birth

    well theres people arhuing that god must exist because these nerves give us the ability to conceive of the comcept of god
    & having this gene makes us want to beleive in god
    but, i have to wonder 2 things, 1, do we simply beleive that theresa god becausea small clump of nerves let us imagine there to be one & 2 if the beleife in god ishardwired into our dna arent we then predetermined to beleive or reject the notion of god at conception & if so, (for a momment lets accept the christian version for arguments sake) is it because theresa quota that needs to be filled? the sperm hits the egg & a cosmic clerk checks his records & dcides this one should go to hell & his twin to heaven, just to ballance the books?

    i dont thing science or religion will ever really prove the god theory
    & thde debate will always go on, but a biological factor does help me understand whoy some are willing to accept the unbeleivable as fact & others can rejct the undeniable (unbeleivable & indeniable just being words thrown around in these arhuments, & not really facts)
