By page 77 of The God Gene, Dean H. Hamer has already disowned the title of his own book. He recalls describing to a colleague his discovery of a link between spirituality and a specific gene he calls "the God gene." His colleague raised her eyebrows. "Do you mean there's just one?" she asked.

This article was originally published with the title Faith-Boosting Genes.

   my name is steven michael murray born sept 22 1959 i do not know why i stumbled on to this but i have been searching for answers to help myself figure out what i am experiencing. some of the articles i have just read are in ny visions and my art that is hard for me to explain for over a year now i have had an awakening of some sort i keep saying that some of us have a special type of god blueprint instilled in us not all its like i am seeing and hearing and experiencing a life force of all life. now i am holding bees without being stung but what is troubling to me is that i am able to see and hear these identities as they even slip into my friends as they start telling me things and then they do not remember. when i first got this i started calling myself gods cahos alot of things come in parables. i look at a tree and see the faces and its lifeforce. there is a definated something going on with me mother earth and the great one creation and it has some sort of a sense of urgency.
