I don't think anybody has denied that it's possible in theory. If that's his point, well, good on him. I don't think it is, however, and think that you're just launching a dishonest apologia on his behalf. And I would have to disagree that the evidence is equivocal. The brain as producer evidence isn't conclusive, but it's better demonstrated than anything I've seen for the brain as receiver hypothesis.
The point he is making you won't search and look for evidence of the other side, whether there are solid evidence or not. This is not particular to you, but Atheists in general. You (as in you in particular) may research or you may not, but he is showing, that science is not this hard facts thing.
And that was his point. And yes good on him.
Well, if you keep changing what you think was his point was, you'll eventually get it right. As to any lack in the response on the part of atheists, that was thoroughly rebuffed in this very thread. As to science being any "hard facts thing," since he is appealing to science in making his case for the brain as receiver hypothesis, if he were arguing as you say, that would simply make him a hypocrite. Fortunately, he does not appear to have been making any such point, much as you might have wished him to do so in order to comfort your anti-science prejudices.
