Yikes ! there's chaos is the far east and europe?? wow. I've always thought those trains ran so reliably and crime rates were relatively low. Shouldn't a theory have to fit the facts first and make predictions second?
that's my initial reaction, and I'm someone who thinks there are brain regions that are easily supportive of religious conditioning. Some interesting cases out there in neuroscience, fascinating field.
