All activity is natural, however all activity does not comply with the rules which govern material activity. In this sense materialists have hijacked the word "Nature".And you suppose spiritualists ingeniously improved the word 'Natural' by adding the prefix "Super" to it? Because nothing has explanatory power in describing reality until you remember to include 'Super' or 'Spirit' into the description?
This concludes my super-response.
Quote:There are those who have vehemently argued that the brain produces consciousness, however, studies conducted by the scientific community have demonstrated that while the brain is dead, and the heart is not functioning, in many reported cases consciousness survives. I posted a link to a lecture given by Dr. Parnia relating to his investigation into near Death Experiences and the temporary survival of consciousness while a person is clinically dead. No Brain activity or heart function, no other functions of the organs.Bullshit. What kind of idiots do you take us for? There's a difference between being assessed as "clinically dead" and actual brain-stem death. Guess which one is irreversible?
