The God gene

  1. The God gene hypothesis proposes that a specific gene, called vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), predisposes humans towards spiritual or mystic experiences. The idea has been postulated by geneticist Dean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the U.S. National Cancer Institute, and author of the 2005 book The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes.

Years ago I asked a spiritual director if God is tracking blood lines ... as God did with the blood line, which Jesus was born into ...

The priest said to me ... you ask the weirdest questions, Mary Jo ... but what do you mean ???

I said ... it seems to run in my family "spiritual and supernatural things" ... the priest answered "well he did not know maybe" ???

This question was asked by me nearly 20 years ago and I guess the above geneticist answered the question  in 2005 ... with a yes it does "run in the bloodline" as in the genetic makeup of a person's DNA


Laminin, a protein important to the body, is in the shape of a cross--- 

This story leads into complex considerations of science and biology but the main questions it prompts are whether laminin is as important as the eRumor claims and does it have a shape like a cross.
The simple answer to both questions seems to be yes.

Research has been conducted on laminins in connection with numerous conditions and diseases.  It has been found, for example, that people with congenital muscular dystrophies do not have  laminin-alpha2, which is normally found in the layer of cells around muscle fibers and other cells important to the structural integrity of muscle cells.
