Human brain, behavioral genetics, and the atonement? Interesting combination of sets. I know most about the atonement and least about behavioral genetics. “That which we persist in doing becomes who we are” is one common set. Are there physical or inherited causes of some behavior? I think probably. Can we overcome anything and obtain atonement? I think everyone by their experience knows that some behavior is harder to correct than others. However, given the spirit is real matter, rather than just mind; then the outcome of change is not limited by the physical or genetics. If God spoke a word and the world was created, if Christ manifest the glory of God by changing what physical could not be changed, then physical can be altered by the finer matter of the spirit. In fact I believe in the resurrection. That is the physical body even after it is lost to corruption will be brought back to its perfect state. A real physical (fine matter) person exists; that physical part of us is not bound by our concept of entropy; we persist eternally. Or better defined our persistence can be in the present of the eternal if we choose eternal life over endless torment.

How much do you understand about Behavioral Genetics, the human brian and their realtionship with the Atonement?
