                                                            The fountain of youth is a long sought-after legend. But scientists may have found a new means of immortality; Downloading our consciousness to a hard drive, so our personality can live on after death.

                                                            Recall the feeling of excitement at the fall of the first snowflake with the onset of winter? That feeling probably faded fast if you were living in eastern North America, which saw frigid cold temperatures.
                                                    
                        
                    Could Lab Rats Help Explain Near-Death Experiences in Humans?

                                                            Do rodents hold the key to answering questions about what happens when we die? Researchers have concluded that increased activity in the brains of dying laboratory rats may explain the cause of near-death experiences.
                                                    
                        
                    Are Secular People More Compassionate?

                                                            Popular belief states that religion teaches people to have compassion for one another, but is this really the case? A new study suggests that the unreligious might be more compassionate towards others.
                                                    
                        
                    Ministers Search for the Spiritual Brain

                                                            Where in the brain does God reside? Does spiritual experience originate in the mind? A researcher is trying to find the 'god spot' in our brains, and he thinks he might have just found it in the parietal lobe.

                                                            More people are searching for spiritual fulfillment by exploring the "feminine" side of spirituality which is central to so many pagan and New Age traditions, including Wicca.

                    Protecting Bullies in the Name of Religion

                                                            It's almost impossible to believe that a lawmaker would try to insert a religious exemption into a proposed anti-bullying law, but that's exactly what one Michigan senator tried to do.
                                                    
                        
                    Does Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” Send the Right Message?

                                                            While many LGBT fans enjoyed Lady Gaga's dance hit "Born This Way," some aren't exactly thrilled about the fact that the song's message is founded on the principles of biological determinism.
