OH BOY!!! How on Earth is this experiment pertinent to the Bible??Scientists Reconstruct Brains' Visions Into Digital Video In Historic Experiment
FYI, this is the type of technology that might actually be useful in building real empirical experiments related to this topic. This is a COOL technological breakthrough IMO.
OH BOY!!! How on Earth is this experiment pertinent to the Bible??
I get the impression that you just don't like the implication that at least some of information that is contained in the Bible is "true" and scientifically accurate.Also you seem to mistake historical fact for scientific empirical evidence.
Indeed.The Bible does contain names and places of people and places that did exist.
Since when did you personally speak for all scientists?This however does not in any way mean that science accepts the Bible as an accurate text book.
And atheists claim they simply "lack belief".Far from it; The bible has very little historical value and no scientific value apart from sociology and such fields.
It is in fact a spiritual guide, not a science textbook. When you say "nothing to do with science" however, you're ignoring it's archeological value entirely.The Bible is very much like Greek mythology; A mixture of facts and fantasy. It is a spiritual guide and has nothing to do with science!
Someone who isn't alive?Also I want you to clarify what you define as dead!
I thought this might be a useful addition to this thread:

[The Bible is] not really a scientific text book in the first place, so what exactly would you expect?
It is in fact a spiritual guide, not a science textbook.
It's not a history book either.
Well, they were written thousands of years later by entirely different authors for starters. Why would that be surprising to you?The Gospels, for instance, are not written in the style and tone of historical writings of the time. It's clearly something else.
Actually, I think it would be more dubious if it was all written in one sitting by one guy. The fact I wasn't created that way is what gives it historical value IMO.And as such is dubious as a source of history.
Well, actually, it is.
Well, no, it's not. It's not written by historians with an eye towards historical fact and objectivity.
It may include some history, but that is not its purpose.
A flawed theory can never pan out well.Distant galaxies look too mature for Big Bang - English pravda.ru
It would see that the 'Big Bang' theory's predictions related to metals in the distant universe aren't panning out very well.

"Neuropsychology researchers consistently have shown that impairment on the right side of the brain decreases one's focus on the self," Johnstone said. "Since our research shows that people with this impairment are more spiritual, this suggests spiritual experiences are associated with a decreased focus on the self. This is consistent with many religious texts that suggest people should concentrate on the well-being of others rather than on themselves."
Johnstone says the right side of the brain is associated with self-orientation, whereas the left side is associated with how individuals relate to others. Although Johnstone studied people with brain injury, previous studies of Buddhist meditators and Franciscan nuns with normal brain function have shown that people can learn to minimize the functioning of the right side of their brains to increase their spiritual connections during meditation and prayer.
CoolSorry to necro this thread but I figured Michael would appreciate this article:
