Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
It's pretty unnecessary to assume the existance of a soul, and if "souls" exist, why do neurological effects have such a great effect on a person's personality and behaviour?

Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
There is no one Buddha. According to Buddhism, a Buddha is one who breaks the cycle of life and rebirth by meditating and ascending or something. The first Buddha was Siddhartha Gotama and there have supposedly been others after him.

Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
That's pretty ****ing stupid dude. Maybe nobody knows those things exist because they don't exist? You seem to use the inverse of occam's razor for some strange reason.

Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
Oh dear, I posted about my belief!
1) I spoke of consciousness, not personality traits. 2) I've learnt of physical continuation, so I reason a continuation of your consciousness is possible. I understand there is no "platform" which your consciousness can exist on, so I belief one will be found.
It's a belief dude...

I bet JBG and Jakiri would have been a real laugh when people tried to tell them the earth wasn't flat as they'd been led to believe, but was in fact round

Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
The argument on the other forum is like banging your head against a brick wall.
I'll post a little here:

Like I said, you don't have to like the way I justify the validity of my human reasoning, but at least I have justification. You trust the validity of your reasoning on blind faith.
I have stated how I justify the validity of MY reasoning. Since you can't justify YOUR reasoning, arguing against MY reasoning hardly makes sense.
(and it makes your condescension all the more amusing).

One cannot DIRECTLY prove that God exists as there is no authority higher than God to which one can appeal.

Again, you can argue against my presuppositions (which, no doubt, is all you will do), but you cannot account for the reasoning which allows you to do so.

It would have still been a stupidly illogical belief if you based it on the amount of cheese produced by in Normandy in a given six month cycle. Much like it would still be a stupid belief today if based on that same evidence. It's like :logic: dude.
Incidentally hebdomad I prefer to call such things opinions. This avoids the hassle of having to continuously divide beliefs into warranted and unwarranted types.
PS That guy has just decided to randomly reassign burden of proof and assume certain things are more fundamental than evidence we can gather ourselves. It's not much use arguing with him as you've got clearly incompatible foundations to start with. What you can do is take his argument and attempt to prove it's logically inconsistent internally but there's of course guarantee he will then move to your "side". (You is general in the last few sentences, dunno if that's actually you he's arguing with ste.)

Re: The Scientific Proof of Life After Death
he's arguing with pretty much everyone with any intelligence on the forum and a few who usually don't have any.
The thread came about because some idiot born-again-christian chav-like student watched that shit ron liddle thing the other day and believed every word and now thinks that he has 'proof' that evolution is false and god is definately true.
Canuckfish is some canadian guy who apparently owns this site that the initial idiot called on to try and help him.
I'm just glad that the forum has changed from every thread being about muslims being terrorists.
