It takes a true idiot, to conclude that areas of the brain which die and physically atrophy still function.

MRI technology reveals that cells in the brain areas related to the processing of memory actually die off under prolonged trauma. They aren't simply reacting differently...they aren't there.

Your retort proved everything I asserted. You are one with the name it and claim it crowd who denies empirical evidences.

Dead cells cease to function.
Contrary to your assertions.

So your assertion that the PTSD can be cured by prayer and seeking God absent a miraculous regeneration of cells coming from God requires...denying that the cells MRI scans show to die off can't still function despite not being there.

You popped off on this thread making assertions that are no longer tenable unless you deny MRI images. Or deny that brain cells are needed for brain functioning. Those are the only two choices, other than a mea culpa on your part that you haven't kept up with medical science.

But if you haven't kept up with the science, and did not bother to check before your retort...then that pretty much validates my assertion that you advocate ignorance for others, now doesn't it?

I am projecting my belief that dead braincells are a physical problem that needs extensive work to function around and don't go away by wishful thinking or a positive attitude.

Once again, you're engaging in reactive reading. You're attributing all sorts of things to me that are not in evidence ("You are one with the name it and claim it crowd who denies empirical evidences."). You're claiming that I have said all sorts of things I did not say ("So your assertion that the PTSD can be cured by prayer and seeking God "). I guess those portions of your brain that would have prevented that are dead and gone and have ceased to function.

By the way, my post-graduate and post-doctoral work is in the field of neurobiology, so I know I didn't mean what you apparently mistook me to mean.
