So, can you cite any scientific evidence that climate change is man-made, or 
that vaccine cause autism; or that eating GMO foods causes harm to your health?

 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.

 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?

 People reason differently when they think about God.
