Thinking can undermine religious faith, study finds – latimes.com.

Scientists have revealed one of the reasons why some folks are less religious than others: They think more analytically, rather than going with their gut. And thinking analytically can cause religious belief to wane — for skeptics and true believers alike.

No surprise here. People are wired differently and you can’t put God under a microscope. Therein lies the flaw of fundamentalism – you can’t analytically prove God and and if you spend your life trying to find Noah’s ark, prove the shroud of Turin, or defend a 5,000 year history of a short earth, not only will you end up frustrated, you will miss out on God’s activity around you right now.
