As an example, Dr. Richard Dawkins says it well, "Religion, he states, provides four things for us: explanation, exhortation (what is good, what is bad), inspiration and consolation. But consolation is an emotional dummy, and inspiration is paltry, parochial and small-minded compared to science. In the field of explanation, science has all the cards; religion has nothing to say about where the universe comes from or what life is for. It provides no evidence for its notions, and its arguments are washed up. Worse, religion debauches education, as demonstrated by the indoctrination of schoolchildren in the United States, many of whom put up a “firewall of faith” to resist anyone who tries to instruct them about evolution. They are immunized against science, as though science is the enemy. Biologists can’t teach properly, according to Dawkins, because they are resisted; yet biology cannot be explained without evolution (2006)." Additionally, religion isn't a scientific fact nor is the Bible fact based either. Why I am so alarmed by your assertion on such a matter, for the elderly seek answers to their health problems not false empty promises of an eternal life where some are in constant anxiety and regret for their past wrong doings. Not only that they waste a lot of time and energy over "the after life" and don't appreciate the here and now. The only thing religion does for some it gives them false comfort because our society is so fearful of death and treat it like some disease. If it wasn't for religion we would be much further in science research than what we are by many who uses religion to prevent important issues in science from any further insight. As the elderly of the baby boomers are becoming a huge part of society they have the power of voting and sites like these that promote religion with science is nonsense and contradictive to what religion says about science!

Will there be a cure for alzeihmers? I have a couple friends trying to find a cure, but it seems impossible. Additionally, to increase brain circulation and in effect memory, try Ginkgo Biloba it really does work.
