Thank you Mr S. Maybe that illustrates that it's not 'about' religion, it's about rationality, the pineal gland for where logical thought meets wishful thinking, the nature of intelligence, etc, because I know in some way I barely see the religiosity and find I'm looking at the underlying issues and the religious aspect of it could well be numerology or luckyshirts. I think chez made a comment that perhaps expressed it better.

So, given the doctors all followed the main evidence disputed at the trial, I'd be a bit leary of going to the not-guilty ones for anything analytical.

luckyme,
if I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind

The pineal gland's function in mammals is almost entirely endocrine (as far as has been shown).

I think new agey types liked giving it other functions came from the fact it develops into a direct light-sensing organ in amphibians as opposed to an indirect one in mammals.
