For a religion that does not believe in evolution. Here is another reason they should believe in it. How about tracing the evolution of their scriptures. Check this article about how the scholars are working to evolve the bible based on newer discoveries afforded by science.

Below is an excerpt from this article

“It’s purely a coincidence, but U.S. Catholics and Protestants alike are being introduced this Easter season to separate “official” updated translations of the Christian Bible, which arrive in the year the magisterial King James Version celebrates its 400th birthday.

But with millions of dollars in publishing revenue and the trust of millions of churchgoers hanging in the balance, the new versions aren’t being met with universal acceptance.

While the changes may seem small, they are resounding throughout Christianity, whose many denominations formed or broke off from others over clashing interpretations of God’s word.

The two new translations touch on some of the most sensitive issues behind those differences, particularly on the inequality of women in society and on the divinity of Mary and — by extension — the birth of Jesus. ”

Ever wonder the french paradox? ie why are french people slim even though they eat so much fat in their diet? Ever wonder why heart problems keep increasing in the US despite the fact that fat intake by Americans has decreased over the years? It not the fat people its sugar! Don’t expect the fructose or sugar industry to tell you this, just look at the facts! This doctor has nothing to gain by putting sugar in its place, and we applaud his pursuit of truth on this matter.

Bottom line is that americans on average eat 141LBs of sugar every year. Listen and judge for yourself.

This is an amazing visual of fractals and how they can go on for ever and ever … These are used by nature and also computers in graphic design.

Here is another example of how our oral intake affects the way we think. It affects our choices, our motivations, and ultimately what we get out of life.

Now while regular food may not have this big an impact, we have strong evidence that suggest eating healthy and eating the right amounts go a long way to keep a well balanced mind.

The article I am referring to is of course:

“Birth Control Pills Affect Women’s Taste in Men”

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=birth-control-pills-affect-womens-taste 

Excerpt from that article is below:
”Recent research suggests that the contraceptive pill—which prevents women from ovulating by fooling their body into believing it is pregnant—could affect which types of men women desire. Going on or off the pill during a relationship, therefore, may tempt a woman away from her man.”

This is an amazing insight into how the mind physically reacts to external stimuli. It feels things are real even though they are not. Now combine this with our understanding of the placebo effect, and one can start seeing the power the mind over the body. This has amazing implications in developing therapies, and body controlled devices.
