Here is a paper on the 'God Gene' at PubMed.

I seem to be encountering studies that don't quite follow previous clinical research to the letter, rather they veer off course and the PubMed study seems to do this as well. And it appears they could not understand a previous study's methodology.
Quote:Although our study may not directly replicate Hamer's (it is not clear which A/C polymorphism he examined), students enter into this dialogue by testing whether they too see an association between VMAT2 variation and spirituality.
Also the students (low numbers for a study?) are all in liberal arts, so right there we have a biased leaning perhaps? towards the more creative hence spiritual?
So I'm not sure at this point whether the DNA gene is diluted, so to speak, within the generations or the DNA genes are mixed up in different percentages or perhaps deleted altogether or has any bearing at all.
Truth fears no question. Anon
