Thanks again for posting thought-provoking material, Salyavin. While the
whiners are busy pointing fingers and blaming others for not posting anything
of value, you point out how lame they are by...wait for it...simply posting
something of value.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] Faith v Facts
JERUSALEM — MOST of us find it mind-boggling that some people seem willing
to ignore the facts — on climate change, on vaccines, on health care — if the
facts conflict with their sense of what someone like them believes. “But those
are the facts,” you want to say. “It seems weird to deny them.”And yet a broad
group of scholars is beginning to demonstrate that religious belief and factual
belief are indeed different kinds of mental creatures. People process evidence
differently when they think with a factual mind-set rather than with a
religious mind-set. Even what they count as evidence is different. And they are
motivated differently, based on what they conclude. On what grounds do scholars
make such claims?Faith vs. Facts
