Study finds brain differences based on faith

DURHAM, N.C. — For decades, mainline Protestants have been beset by bad news: declining numbers, aging membership, waning cultural influence.A new study from Duke University Medical Center, however, gives these Protestants one reason for cheer: they seem to have larger brains than born-again Christians, Roman Catholics and the religiously unaffiliated.

A study of believer's brains, based on scans such as this image of a normal brain, finds size differences among denominations and those with no religious identity.

The study, which examined the hippocampus region of the brain, found that Protestants who did not have a "born again" experience had significantly more gray matter than either those who reported a life-changing religious experience, Catholics, or unaffiliated older adults.

6. They have to have smaller brains

It would be the only way they could fit through a vagina during the second birth.

How they are as big as they are still unnerves me, I mean, where did they get a vagina that size for the second births to begin with?

7. Ok I wonder where Jews would fall under this

I noticed those brains were not there. Also I wonder how this relates to evolution and all that since these are some self selected groups.
