Subject: RE: BS: Are Atheists really Atheists or......
guestlex, they have also done studies (if you want the link, I can get it, but it's long), where scientists and doctors ran people through an MRI cat-scan...people who were 'meditating' and/or 'spiritually mined', lit up portions of activity in larger portion the brain's frontal lobe. Music, by the way, also lights up more neuron activity, as well,...the other group they ran through were proclaimed 'atheists'. Those who were in a meditative state lit up similar to people who had taken psychedelics(Psilocybin mushrooms to be precise, and LSD). There seemed to be a 'difference' in the two types of people, because there was an element that the body had that triggered it. Because of the studies, they came up with name 'God Gene'. The atheists, therefore are said to 'just not get it', while the other group doesn't seem to figure out 'Why not?" The question has since arisen, as a result from the studies, are the people actually 'plugging into' a greater, 'power', collective consciousness, or is it all internal.
...as for me, I'm more interested in listening to those who are utilizing MORE of their brains, than less.
Feedback??

I'm sure the above paragraph has plenty of 'keywords' in which to right click, and check the web...if interested, there is a video link, I believe, from either the 'History Channel' or the Documentary Channel'.....I found it fascinating.....and it explains why the two just argue. Not sure if the 'lit' group, can 'unplug', or if the 'atheists' group could 'light up', if they exerted their wills.
Feedback??
