You can't observe their conscious directly but you can observe what happens to their neurological activity via brain scan imaging. I already posted the picture of it, that's all you can do scientifically.
Oh for fuck's sake. They might as well have put a "mood ring" on the "tongue-speaking" idiots and observed how the ring changed color when they went into their "spiritual state".
Do you think a brain scan would show similar results if they tested Muslims or Hindus when they went into their "spiritual state"? Of course it would. Which is of course an indication that their "conscious" had achieved a "greater state of awareness of Allah or Vishnu".
Utter. Fucking. Rubbish.
