 :-D  Thank you for the video! This is really great news. Science +1, faith healing 0, prayer 0.  :roll:  Solitary

Awesome! I want to see this happen for people older by, say, 20 years (assuming it can) to pick their brains for what's like to all of a sudden have this new sense that you never had. Seems like it'd be interesting for them.
Which means that to me the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can\'t give way, is the offer of something not worth having.
