New study finds no relationship between brain structure and religiosity
psypost.org

Religion and neurology often seem at odds; an extension of the questionable chasm separating spirituality and science. Indeed, in attempting to explain religious faith, neuroscientists have often sought to highlight subtle differences in brain structure that might confirm a deficiency here or reduction there.

A new, preregistered study out of the Netherlands, published in the European Journal of Neuroscience, sought to test prominent hypotheses in the literature relating brain structure to religious experience by way of a high-powered (i.e., having a large sample size), methodologically robust study on religiosity and structural brain differences.

"Is ITER cold fusion?
Both ITER and JET, which is based at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) near Oxford, use extreme magnetic fields to confine plasma into a ring and heat it until fusion occurs. The temperatures in JET can reach 100 million degrees, many times hotter than the Sun's core."





Yep, they don't call it the Fermi great filter for nothing....
