The laws of physics have no bearing on the soul because the soul transcends the physical.
I agree with you in the sense that science does not delve into the spiritual and the spiritual should not delve into science.

Science does not and should not involve itself with the unfalsifiable lest it spend its time chasing unicorns and fairies and pink polka dotted baby dragons.

Religion is based on faith and spirituality. Science is based on empirical evidences and the falsifiable. The two should not mix.

Occam’s Razor can take a hike.

It's how science operates. If you don't like it, you can go live in a cave.

You restrict yourself to science books written by those who study the brain.

I rely on books written by those who studied the creator of the brain.

This is a science forum. You keep your bible out of my science , and I don't bash said bible with reality.




Gravity is also the subject of ongoing research. There is a phenomenon it simply cannot explain (Singularities) and, most disgracefully, it doesn't fit in with any of our other theories. Would you like to argue against that as well?


Except that you don’t know how the experience is retained. Your Google friend is still trying to figure that out.

Yet even you admit you can see a memory, and we can test to see if there is one.

The ills of the soul (ignorance, fear, etc) were caused by materialism in the first place. The majority of bodily distresses are also caused by materialism.

Reality? Don't you mean triviality and error?

Nope. Physical science.
So you're saying physical science is consisting of only triviality and errors?

I say you're wrong in that, and I back that up with cars, electronics and skyscrapers. They are not trivial matters and errors could (large ones would) render them useless or life threatening (of course, more then they already are, since there's always the human factor).

There is much greater when dealing with the spirit. In a small pond the size of the physical they can appear to be big, but when juxtaposed with aspects of man such as the soul and spirit, they are not.


Well, you did mention trivial and error, so you can understand why I might think you were referencing the bible.

Nope. Physical science. Hope that one cleared up for you.

The size doesn't matter, you were making a claim about the contents, not the size.

The physical, as in the physical spectrum of the universe.
Yes, I understood that. You still made the claim that physical science is triviality and error.
That is unaffected by what spectrum it's investigating or what size it is, since you described its contents with those terms.
I explained why that was wrong.
