However, I think part of the problem appears to be simply taking the conclusion too far. That certain types of people are more or less likely to believe certain types of things based on genetics doesn't sound like a stretch to me. Calling it a 'god gene' seems a bit much... I find this amusing: [quote] ...who challenge the existence of a "God gene" and say the research undermines a fundamental tenet of faith... [/quote] So because it undermines what you would like to be true, it's wrong? That's a new one :rolleyes: While a case clearly needs to be made much stronger by Hamer in order to get anywhere with this, refutation based on what you want to believe is true needs to stop. [quote] [b]Suho1004 said:[/b] Also, I find it interesting that the article notes that his findings "are being greeted skeptically by many in the religious establishment" but does not mention how others in the scientific community have reacted. [/quote] Indeed!
