Mate they dont give a shit, they didnt care when they proved it was made in the middle ages in the 1980s, I doubt they will care now.
Its not about science its about "faith", whatever that means.
What that old church doctrine about "worshipping false idols".

Yeah, I know they don't care. Do as I say not as I do, or something like that is their MOA? But it's the followers that have begun to see with open minds and who have been led astray that this might affect. Faith is one thing, having your faith continually proven wrong could be another. With me, every little bit I learn't all added up to pushing me away. The false idol thing was one of these things

High churchs are big on Iconography.

Oh yeah no doubt, I really believe the body can heal itself of almost anything if you believe you can do it. But the church/religous definition of "miracles shits me to tears. "God saved this child from cancer" yeah but he let 10 000 kids die of starvation is Africa today cause he couldnt make it rain. Annoys the crap out of me.

Actually, I think that 10% of the brain thing is a myth. Hwoever the power of the mind over the body is proberbly unlimited. I remember seeing a story once where a little kid had some form of terminal cancer. His parents, every night, got him to go through this ritual before bed, he would concentrate on the tumors in his body. He would imagine he could wash them out, he would pisture taking them out, washing them and then wring all the bad stuff out. After 6 months of this he was completely tumor free. I believe this is where human evolution will go, not phyisical changes, but mental.
