The Biology of Belief - Response

As you can probably see, I made the corrections in the entry about the Time article. So, corrections made, I also saw the opinions posted on that same correction.

The thing is, I chose this article for a simple reason: how is it possible that something as faith can have anyhing to do with biology, with science? Faith is something abstract, not measured! You use much, not many, we can not study and know how much (see?) faith someone has!

Is this a valid reason? For me, it is.

I said it before, I am not a religious person, but I hate to be a person that relies exlusively on science and reason. It has to be more than that! I can not live my life thinking that everything is measured with numbers and scientifical discoveries, that all my feelings, all that happens it's just the result of pure biology!

So, yes, I mantain all I said in that entry: it is good to know that even science can prove that there is more than it, that yes, we can control what happens with us, even if just slightly; even if just in our head.
