Your lack of imagination is your defeat

You are saying that in a forum is ok. for somebody to spout crap after crap but not for someone in particular.
You reach a new high of stupidity.  Worship

Everybody is judged individually.  That other people speak crap doesn't lend any credence to your crap.  You're just making more excuses as to why you don't provide evidence.

Evidence eventually will come once we leave our physical body if of course you may believe that we can leave our physical body.
In the meantime is my opinion that we should go along with what make more sense and discard what doesn't.

What 'makes sense' to you doesn't make sense to the Christian.  What makes sense to the Christian doesn't make sense to the Tibetan Buddhist.  And around it goes.  Because 'makes sense' is a worthless standard which only endorses meaningless bias and unfounded beliefs.  That's why evidence is important.  It separates the wheat from the chaff.  You without any evidence are the chaff.  You should be discarded.  What 'makes sense' is as flexible as the imagination of the thinker.  There are hundreds of strands within Hinduism, all of which 'make sense' to their advocates.  That doesn't in the least incline us to believe they are true.  In the absence of evidence, the reasonable person withholds belief and remains agnostic about whatever theory or hypothesis is presented.  You'll note that consciousness being a product of the brain 'makes sense' to a lot of people.  On top of that, despite your complaining otherwise, there is evidence that the proposition is true.  Much more evidence than a handful of NDEs.  That it doesn't make sense to you is irrelevant.  Your free to remain agnostic on the question.  But jumping to another worldview without any evidence is simply irrational.

Atheists in general say that the consciousness is a product of the brain.
And they get stuck in this idea no matter what.
But consciousness is not something physical that can be killed along with energy.
But no, no matter what atheists made already their mind without exploring first the possibility that
their belief is unfounded.

Here is where I am talking about what make sense and what doesn't.
You see a dead body but you can not see a dead consciousness and yet you believe that the consciousness is dead without a rag of evidence.

Again you simply lie about things.  I've already provided evidence for the proposition that consciousness is a product of the brain which supports the idea that death is the end.  But this is irrelevant.  Here you are back at your tricks.  Making bare assertions about what is and is not.  Finding fault in the other person's belief but not providing evidence for the things you believe like karma and microvita and reincarnation.  This is nothing more than sleight of hand--you keep our attention focused on this so that we don't notice how little evidence for your own beliefs has been provided.  It's nothing but a cheap trick.

'Atheists in general' are divided about what exactly consciousness is.  They all have their individual views about what 'makes sense' and their ideas are no less sensible than yours.  Christians have ideas that make sense too.  As do Buddhists.  The wise course is to remain independent of those views which do not provide evidence for their views.  The handful of veridical NDEs are hard to explain and provide some meager support for the notion that consciousness is independent of the brain.  But that evidence is slight, and ambiguous--there are many views of consciousness that work with it that aren't your views.  Meanwhile, there is voluminous evidence from biology and medicine that the brain is directly involved in producing the mind.  (And none for the idea that automobiles have mind.)  Again, the question is the balance of evidence.  In that, your handful of unexplained NDEs don't count for much.

I would post the evidence again, but we know that is a distraction from you presenting any for your view.



Yog.  Hi


I am late for work so in these few minutes I only will answer few of your objections.

1) Let us talk about what make sense.
You mention religions.
See the Hindus.
They say that the cow is holy on the basis that give a lot of milk.
Buffaloes give more milk than cows and yet they are not holy.
Here is where the sense goes terribly wrong.

Now take the muslims.
They say that animals must be killed facing the Mecca.
They reckon is good for the animal.
Now you tell me how can be good for the poor beast whether is killed facing the Mecca or no.

You see yog how the sense is wrong?

All people need in order to find out what is wrong or right is a little bit of intuition.
Nothing more, nothing special.

Atheists are in the same terrible corral of dogma.  Banging Head On Desk

They reckon that something abstract as the consciousness die when the body die.
Even science tell us that is impossible to destroy energy but energy and consciousness
are the two sides of the same sheet so how can the consciousness die then?  Lightbulb
