dream of "every mystic, theist, and woo woo".

1) mystic. The impetus is coming from the scientific community that according to the literature he has read that the science is suggesting that there is a link - not the Buddhists.

2) theist - well nothing shows more clearly that you jumped at the headline and did not read the article because the article undermines theism and in the author's point of view will provide a challenge to theistic philosophy in the future as more science is done.

3) woo woo. If this is a reference to light headed wishful thinking people who are not serious thinkers then you can go up thread and read Einstein's points on Buddhism.

4) 'No'. In any question of metaphysics such a definitive statement has to be understood as a statement of faith.
