Did you not read the article?
That was the primary take way from it, was a defination the article gives coinsides/works with the 2007 Theory of Biocentrism. The old term 'soul' is being described in the theory as it's primary biological life force. It is conscientiousness.
That is your definition. This theory explains makes an attempt to account for Conscientiousness as a product of biology. which Robert Lanza, M.D., the currently Chief Scientific Officer at the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Adjunct Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
For the purpose of this article drew parallels with His/our understanding of the word soul.
Both you and bobbie-value want to poo poo on this topic without doing any of the leg work.. Intellectual dishonesty anyone? How about a side of closed minded laziness?
First of all, the tone of article is DRIPPING with confirmation bias, non-sequiturs, and question begging. I'm happy to go into detail if you disagree with me.
Second of all, the "definitions" of the soul put forth by the article (and by Lanza) are so ambiguous as to be functionally useless. Definition of the soul: 'a force not explainable by science.' Wow. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Third, yes I have heard of Biocentrism; or simply put, the "theory" that consciousness generates life/the universe, not the other way around. Not only is there no supporting evidence for such a sweeping assertion, the theory is set up so that it is practically untestable. And anyone who claims that the double slit experiment is evidence for this notion is only demonstrating their lack of understanding.
