    You seem to be stuck in some 'Christian' mindset of what 'God' is.
    You cannot debate for shit. Blabber away.

    I'm not 'debating' this. I'm NOT attempting to prove or disprove the existence of 'God'. Whatever 'God' is, it's nor affecting my Life or my Decisions. I'm perfectly content to let the Mental Giants like yourself 'prove' your concept of God is real and true. And that those that don't agree are ... IDIOTS!

    Yeah, you are just not very smart. I never said I was proving God exists.

    Are you proving 'God' doesn't exist?

    Are you attempting to prove the 'Christian God' doesn't exist? (I'm guessing this includes the Man-God, Jesus)

    I was referring to the natural law invoked by Declaration of Independence, the French Revolution, John Locke, and the medieval Christian theologians, et al. It exists firmly in the context of jurisprudence and perceived universal moral code. There is no scientific experiment which can prove the truth of natural law and natural rights.

    I didn't listen to the whole thing, but I skimmed it and went to the Wikipedia entry on him.

    Consciousness is a mystery that modern science really does not have a coherent theory about. There is a mystery about consciousness which will not be solved in our lifetimes, if ever.

    To me, consciousness and the ultimate origin of the universe are the most profound remaining mysteries, and they may ultimately be incomprehensible to our limited cognition.

    Dude


    It’s his description of the other side

    There is a part where he finds himself in the dark


    Like he’s a worm underground


    But no sense of a body

    Surrounded by veins and arteries connecting through and around him


    He tries to make the sounds he heard while with the beautiful girl

    Ooommmmmm

    And everything vibrates and then he transports


    He’s describing the matrix





    CAUTION: this poster forgot to fully investigate

    Yes got the impression I got was that his near death experience led him to feel consciousness was separate from the body.

    There are actually serious philosophers and scientists who do not categorically rule out that observable existence could conceivably be a computer simulation.

    That's the dictionary definition, yes. But forced-birthers call abortion "murder" even though it is lawful. They wish to declare it illegal and punishable.
