Thank you for reading my thoughts,
You might remember me, I have been here before. I now know how to communicate with future out of body people in a way that can be measured. Please fill free to list any expert in this field of science that you know besides me? Thank you once again for reading my thoughts, Tim |

If it's not the case, then I suggest you show some scientific evidence that does not indicate that the mind is the result of brain activity. One counterexample can destroy a false argument.

If it's not the case, then I suggest you show some scientific evidence that does not indicate that the mind is the result of brain activity. One counterexample can destroy a false argument. I hope that opinion and observations of the former President of the Royal Society Sir William Crookes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Crookes) and some other cases described by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle should incline you to avoid usage of the word ALL for this cases, and try to keep to the golden middle in matters of such sensitive nature. I quote this passage for the second time on this forum. QUOTE In 1870 Crookes decided that science had a duty to study the preternatural phenomena associated with Spiritualism (Crookes 1870). Judging from family letters, Crookes had developed a favorable view of Spiritualism already by 1869 (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 232–233). Nevertheless, he was determined to conduct his inquiry impartially and described the conditions he imposed on mediums as follows: "It must be at my own house, and my own selection of friends and spectators, under my own conditions, and I may do whatever I like as regards apparatus" (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 177). Among the mediums he studied were Kate Fox, Florence Cook, and Daniel Dunglas Home (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 230-251). Among the phenomena he witnessed were movement of bodies at a distance, rappings, changes in the weights of bodies, levitation, appearance of luminous objects, appearance of phantom figures, appearance of writing without human agency, and circumstances which "point to the agency of an outside intelligence" (Crookes 1874). Crookes' report on this research, in 1874, concluded that these phenomena could not be explained as conjuring, and that further research would indeed be useful. Crookes was not alone in his views. Fellow scientists who came to believe in Spiritualism included Alfred Russel Wallace, Oliver Joseph Lodge, Lord Rayleigh, and William James (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 62). Nevertheless, most scientists were convinced that Spiritualism was fraudulent, and Crookes' final report so outraged the scientific establishment "that there was talk of depriving him of his Fellowship of the Royal Society." Crookes then became much more cautious and didn't discuss his views publicly until 1898, when he felt his position was secure. From that time until his death in 1919, letters and interviews show that Crookes was a believer in Spiritualism (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 169–170, 249–251). But certainly this subject should be handled with utmost care. |
