'God gene' discovered by scientist behind gay DNA theory

Religious belief is determined by a person's genetic make-up according
to a study by a leading scientist.

 

After comparing more than 2,000 DNA samples, an American molecular
geneticist has concluded that a person's capacity to believe in God is
linked to brain chemicals.

His findings were criticised last night by leading clerics, who
challenge the existence of a "god gene" and say that the research
undermines a fundamental tenet of faith - that spiritual enlightenment
is achieved through divine transformation rather than the brain's
electrical impulses.

Dr Dean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure and Regulation Unit
at the National Cancer Institute in America, asked volunteers 226
questions in order to determine how spiritually connected they felt to
the universe. The higher their score, the greater a person's ability
to believe in a greater spiritual force and, Dr Hamer found, the more
likely they were to share the gene, VMAT2.

Studies on twins showed that those with this gene, a vesicular
monoamine transporter that regulates the flow of mood-altering
chemicals in the brain, were more likely to develop a spiritual
belief.
