What Twins Reveal About The Science Of Faith

However in one study of adopted twins, the researchers looked at religious belief in a number of adopted twins raised apart. They found exactly the same result--greater similarity in identical twin pairs, even if raised apart. The conclusion is unavoidable: faith is definitely influenced by genes.

Anyone who knows me knows I have always had a twin fascination. I came across this article today about a study that showed that even when twins were separated at a young age that they held similar beliefs concerning their faith (or lack of).
