Darwin labeled biological evolution as "descent with modification." That is the definition you, Little Rik, need to confront. You need to show that consciousness goes from one life to the next, carrying the advantages with it, and that there is modification of consciousness somewhere within that process (learning doesn't actually modify consciousness). According to you, humans are the pinnacle of evolution, and that when they reincarnate, they don't remember their past life. So, by definition, there can be no descent with modification for humans as they are at the end of the line. And we have no evidence of NDEs in plants and animals, so you're shit out of luck there. Where's your evidence for "descent with modification" ?
So, that's the burden you have assumed, and by my lights, you haven't come close to meeting it for consciousness.
5) Finally NDEs already proved that consciousness carry on in the next life.
In order for there to be evolution, their has to be persistence of the 'scroll' across different lives ('descent'). In order for it to be an unrolling of the scroll, there has to be change which persists across those different lives ('modification'). You may not call it descent with modification but that is exactly what you are claiming, regardless of your opinion of Darwin. Nothing about NDEs demonstrates reincarnation. That's just your ludicrous interpretation colliding with your dogma about 'the system'. But I'm all ears. Feel free to explain how any NDE necessarily entails the existence of reincarnation in a future life. You can't because they don't. Aside from a bunch of irrelevant quibbles, you haven't actually disputed anything I stated. You have a case to make. Show that NDEs necessarily entail the truth of reincarnation, and show that the "unrolling of the scroll" persists across lives. Your appeal to the past meanings of 'evolution' didn't change dick. Make your case or shut the fuck up.
