As Christians, science can often be our enemy, especially among contemporary physicists like Hawking, who relentlessly try to factor out God in their "Theories of Everything". And because of lack of empirical proof, they scoff at the existence of faith based concepts, like the soul.
I am aware, though, of the research being done by Stuart Hameroff, and renowned physicist Roger Penrose, into consciousness and the existence of a perpetual soul, outside and separate of a physical body. And although I don't understand it all, it seems that they are saying that consciousness, and a "soul", could exist externally of a brain, within the space time fabric. "Warm temperature quantum vibrations", produced by microtubules in neural cells, create brain waves. Upon death of the body, somehow this neural energy is encoded in the geometry of space time and continues to exist via quantum entanglement. Looking for answers, I posed this supposition on a philosophy Q&A site, and was told it was preposterous and made no sense.
Has there been other research in this area of neuroscience and consciousness by other scientists as well? Has such research been productive?
