Is Jim Baker on the up and up or is this another money making scam to brain wash his followers?

Jim Baker, the former White House Chief of Staff, doesn't have any "followers", and is quietly going about his business at the age of 80, with no controversy. He assists in various philanthropic and international arenas.

Jim Bakker, the televangelist embroiled in scandal in the eighties, is doing televangelist work near Branson, Missouri. He has his own ministry, but the holdings are mostly owned by others, with he as a minor role, financially.

He, by all accounts, seems to be on the up and up. His past "transgressions" were not apparently with any devious intent, and subsequent hearings - which did not get as much press coverage - have exonerated him of much. He himself has apologized, and has conducted himself since as if he meant it.

He and his wife have five children adopted from inner-city neighborhoods. They are apparently sincere in their desire to spread the gospel, and no one is being lied to or tricked into donating any money.

It should also be noted, that it was never alleged that he "brainwashed" anyone, then or now. He offers his take on the gospel, a person then gives or not as they please. They do not - nor have they ever been asked to - sell all they have and move to a compound!

Includes your brain and spinal cord?

The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.

Why do you have too much cerebral spinal fluid?

An increased level of CFS in the skull can be caused by overproduction by the choroid plexus or damage to the arachnoid granulations meaning it cant be drained into the sagital sinus effectively and so the levels contained in the ventricles and subarachnoid space increase. If there is a blockage of the cerebral aquaduct this stops CSF flowing out of the ventricles causing a build up of fluid here. These problems resuly in swelling in the ventricles which in an adult crush the brain into the inside of the skull often sausing ireversible brain dammage. In a neonate the result is somewhat different as their skill is still relatively soft and had not yet formed all its sutures and so the swelling of the ventriles leads to swelling of the whole head pushing the skull outwards.

Can you grow faster in space because earth has gravity and the gravity pulls down your spinal cord so you grow slower?

Gravity causes people to need strong bones to support their weight. Strong bones spend time adding calcium to their structure, and less time growing longer.

It an environment with less gravity, bones will grow longer and not be as strong - unless they are exercised. Future space exploration must include facilities which promote healthy bone development, especially in the young.
