No nerves?
The third possibility was that information
about lighting was transmitted
to the pineal by nerves. Fortunately
Arisns Kappers had just identified the
nerve connections of the rat pineal as
coming from the sympathetic nervous
system. We found that if the sympathetic
pathway to the pineal was interrupted
by the removal of the superior
cervical ganglion, the ability of melatonin-forming
activity to be altered by
light was completely lost. Thus it appeared
that light was stimulating the
retina and then information about this
light was being transmitted to the pineal
via sympathetic nerves. Within the
pineal the sympathetic nerves probably
released neurohumors (noradrenaline or
serotonin), which acted on pineal cells
to induce (or block the induction of)
HIONIT; this enzyme in turn regulated
the synthesis of melatonin.

Wow, MIT, impressive........ Exactly how does that link prove the existence of the the God of the Bible vs the God of the Jews vs the God of Muslims vs the gods of the Hindus or the "wisdom of Buddha"?
Cant repeat this enough. There is not one religion in the world, NOT ONE, that when it cant debunk science will try to co opt science and try to use it to point to their club. You'd know this if you would debate more than just atheists. But don't feel bad, when people of other religions run into atheists, they are also stuck with tunnel vision.
Do yourself a favor, do several google searches. For example type in "Jewish Science" and "Hindu Science" and "Muslim science" and "Buddhist science" then come back to me and try to claim you have a unique tactic.
