A scientific study of the difference in the brain--if any--between believing "2+2 = 4" and "There is a God." http://www.time.com/time/he... The current paper recovers Harris's identity as a doctoral candidate in neurology at UCLA, his occupation before he commenced what he calls his "extramural affair jumping into trenches in the culture wars." It is an addition to the growing field of brain scan trials, and Harris thinks it may be the first to detail how the brain processes belief. At first read, it seems less dangerous to Christianity than to another cherished pillar of Western thought — that "objective" beliefs like "2 + 2 = 4" and "subjective" beliefs like "torture is bad" belong to entirely separate categories of thought.
