Research would also subject claims of ?out of body? experiences to strict test

It Took 40 Days TORONTO, FEB. 22, 2009 (Zenit.org).- On Ash Wednesday, Feb. 25, the Church begins her great Lenten journey with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem. For centuries, Lent has been a very intense spiritual journey and experience for the followers of Jesus Christ. Why are there 40 days in Lent? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pontiff Requests Prayer for Fulfillment of Mission VATICAN CITY, FEB. 22, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is asking for prayers, on this feast of the Chair of Peter, for a successful fulfillment of his mission as the Bishop of Rome.

But many people seem to feel otherwise, if a new study is to be believed. Researchers found that a person's unconscious attitudes toward science and God are often opposed, depending on how religion and science are used to answer ultimate questions such as how the universe began or the origin of life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Genes affecting generosity may be found If you like easy games, you'd love this one. The rules: one player receives some money. That player may then choose to give any part of it, or none, to a second player. The end. It seems absurdly simple doesn't the second player even do anything but that's exactly the point. Scientists studying altruism, or generosity, designed it to provide a straightforward measure of a person's altruism, untainted by considerations such as how the other player might react. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Belief in aliens doesn't negate faith in God, Vatican says The Catholic Church's chief astronomer say any extra-terrestrial being would also be a part of creation.

Meteorites left seeds of Earths left-handed life Flash back three or four billion years to a hot, dry, lifeless Earth. All is still. Suddenly, a meteor plunges in to the desert several times faster than a speeding bullet. With it, scientists believe, this crash may have planted the chemical seeds of life on Earth. Researchers are now presenting evidence that desert heat, a little water, and meteorite impacts... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Science and Religion: Bridging the Great Divide Ever since science began drifting away from religion, centuries ago, each has dreamed of subsuming the other. Scientists, in their boldest moments, speak of explaining away all the mysteries by empirical inquiry, leaving no need for ancient wisdom. And the faithful,fervently believing in spiritual forces unmeasurable by any meter... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The theory of sound, music and human path Approximately two years ago I started to understand the concept that music was much more than entertainment. Over the last two years I have developed through extensive research theories on this that I believe can alter our destiny and improve our lives. Of course we all know Music. Music has been around for tens of thousands of years. It is part of our lives... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
