Recently, I came across several studies of the human mind in connection with how a person has the ability to believe something in the mind, and these scans and studies discovered something fascinating: The part of the brain that contains the capacity for “faith” is in all people, but the space for “faith” is enlarged in people of faith.[i] All people have faith. Everyone believes in something or someone. The cortical mantle in the brain is the region that thickens in correlation with increased faith. Everyone has cortical mantle regions in their brain, and those who practice religious faith have increased cortical mantle volume.
