If a baseball and bat cost $110...
..and the bat is $100 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
According to research, if you answered $10, then you're more inclined to be a person of faith.
[quote]Your answer to the following riddle can predict whether you are a believer in religion or a disbeliever:
Q: If a baseball and bat cost $110, and the bat costs $100 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
A: If you answered $10 you are inclined to believe in religion. If you answered $5 you are inclined to disbelieve.
Why? Because, according to new research reported in tomorrow's issue of the journal Science, the $10 answer indicates that you are an intuitive thinker, and the $5 answer indicates that you solve problems analytically, rather than following your gut instinct.[/quote][[url=http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-new-brain/201204/religion-and-reason]link[/url]]

People will find just about any excuse to dress up religious discussion (like this thread) so they can get away with bashing it. [/quote][/quote] Sorry, I think I didn't word my post very well. I meant the "dressing up religious discussion" and "bashing it" to be two separate entities. They often coincide, but not necessarily.
