Because partial brain incapacity produces a state of oblivion that is identical to brain death. (Stuart Hameroff, Anil Seth).Write4U:
Here are the questions, quoting statements you have made:
How do you know that experience ends with brain death?
The conscious mind is an emergent phenomenon of neural data proccessing. When the neural network has been destroyed by any causality, the result is a gradually dimming mindscape as in Alzheimers and Dementia.How do you know that the mind does not persist after brain death?
I did not say "it is the same". I said that the effect is the same. (Seth, myself).Why do you keep repeating the empty claim that being under anesthesia is the same as being brain dead, when you know it is not?
Define soul.How do you know there is no soul?
First, OT.How do you know that life has been explained? Who explained it?
Then Cell Theory.
Long strands of self-duplicating polymers (RNA, DNA) encased in a self-organizing envelope and all the way back to basic chemical reactions and self-organization of biochemistry (Robert Hazen).In biology, cell theory is a scientific theory first formulated in the mid-nineteenth century, that organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. Wikipedia
I don't. The bible claims to know.How do you know that a heaven is required for god, or angels or the devil to exist?
How do you know there is a non-material world?
How do you know that science can examine a non-material world?
Define soul.How do you know that souls have no access to other dimensions?
Like Carlos Castaneda?How do you know that we human beings, here and now, have no access to other dimensions?
Allow me to ask: do other dimensions have access to our three? And if they do are they measurable?
Have yourself anesthetized and you will understand.How do you know there is nothing but total oblivion?
There is no evidence to the contrary. "I think, therefore I am" .How do you know that you are (only) the emergent product of your brain?
Tegmark observes that "we already have all the tools necessary for conscious patterns. We have the pieces of the puzzle. And therein lies the problem. At that level any form of observation affects the data being observed and measured and the data itself becomes unreliable.
But I have never seen a clairvoyant who's skill doesn't lie in the complexity of his/her "mirror neural" network, the network that generates "empathic responses".

Yep, and also the more scientific metaphysical approach, and the psychological approach that define Angels and Demons as the symbolification of human character models.Can you see the common theme to these questions, Write4U?
I always do.Please think carefully before you respond.
