The best explanation for the world in which we live and our physical and mental make-up is a natural explanation. If our bodies are simply conduits, explain why they possess all of the components that they posses, which seem to perform all of the tasks necessary to produce consciousness? Why would we need brains, if our spirits could do the work? Why have physical bodies at all? What evidence are you using to claim that we have spirits apart from NDE accounts, which are perfectly explained through classic neurology?
All of this from accounts of near death experiences? Interesting that most neurologists are not troubled by the same accounts that lead Lekatt to such confident and extreme conclusions. Is that because Lekatt is much smarter than most neurologists and he has more training in neurology, or is it because neurologists have a materialistic explanation that fits much nicer without the need to invoke made up fantasies?
It seems as if Lekatt is simply scared to die, or to lose a loved one to death. I do not mock this - I am scared to die as well, and I have lost loved ones that were very dear to me. I would give literally anything to see them again and would be beyond happy to learn that Lekatt's fantasies are a reality.
But that does not mean that I will see them again. There is a large difference between what we want to exist and what actually exists. |
I have been debating skeptics for a long time, long enough to know when they start making the debate personal they have nothing left in the way of a debate to say.
Now, I have provided a lot of evidence to back my position and I have seen no evidence at all to back yours. How about showing some evidence?
I read the science journals carefully and all the material about how scientists believe the brain produces consciousness. I know a lot about it from the the skeptical point of view. The trouble is that science has no physical evidence to back up what they believe. It is all opinion and theory. Now if you believe I am wrong please show me the "beef." I would appreciate it greatly.
