What journal was that published in?Oh, no, the opposing view is just a hypothetical argument that a theist or supernaturalist might respond with. I was having a conversation with my cousin (Buddhist) about the afterlife and, while explaining to her the naturalist view on human beings, distracted myself with possible contradictions to what I was saying about us being heat machines. I think I just unnecessarily confused myself.
