And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind..... Romans 1:28
"Our brains are hardwired to believe lies, says researcher (Taylor & Francis,
29 June 2023). Marcel Danesi Ph.D., is a professor of 
semiotics and
linguistic anthropology at the University of Toronto. He must be a very
smart person, but the obvious question lurking behind this statement in
the headline seems lost on him.
Question: Are you believing in and
teaching lies right now?
For elaboration, consider this syllogistic form
of his claim:
- Major premise: Human brains are hardwired to believe lies.
- Minor premise: Danesi has a human brain.
- Conclusion: Danesi is hardwired to believe lies.
- Corollary: If Mussolini, Stalin, and Hitler all succeeded by spreading lies, then lying is an evolutionary success.
- Conclusion: Danesi’s theorem that brains are hardwired to believe lies is a successful lie.
