Re: OMG the latest post
I assumed the bit about Lucy was a joke, I certainly hope it was.

Re: Brain function
It seems not all tests are being reported, well, read I mean.
On the contrary it seems they are being reported and twisted to fit the preconceived beliefs of the religious.
I particularly like how after the quote from Andrew Newberg ...
It’s fascinating because these subjects truly believe that the spirit of God is moving through them and controlling them to speak.
... the writer of that piece claims that the evidence supports this and then goes on to describe something which doesn't support it at all.
The fact that there is a lack of intentional control is in no way any confirmation that God is moving through them and controlling them.
Good enough for me.
That says more about you than it does about this research.
The actual paper is available in pdf form here.

Re: Brain function
It was a simple study that says
Our brain imaging research shows us that these subjects are not in control of the usual language centers during this activity
Indeed, and where does it say anywhere in the results that god has any involvement? Was it supposed of be in the part you quoted from the paper? Because if so then the 'Fail' is all on your side, unless you can actually explain how it is supporting evidence of course.
I'm also unclear why you don't realise the benefit of referring back to the actual paper rather than a partial 2nd hand report on it. Especially unclear since you yourself took a portion of the paper as a quote to use in your response. Of course if you cared about the research rather than how it was propagandised then you could have given us a link to it yourself, but I guess you only want us to get the adulterated version.
TTFN,

Re: Brain function
it was to demonstrate that brain function tests work both ways
In what way? I brought up a specific objection about the presentation of the research in the article you linked to and you have just been handwaving and waffling to apparently cover up the fact that indeed the article makes completely unsupported claims and pretends that the research supports them, but that's OK because you would like their unsupported claims to be true.
Or are you just critiqing the ones you don't agree with?
As I seem to keep having to point out to you, I'm not critiquing the study at all. I'm criticising the misrepresentation of the study by the source you provided.
All you seem to have shown is that when they want to misrepresent research people can do so, way to go, what a startling revelation.
TTFN,
WK
