Is There a Scientific Basis for an Afterlife?

[Purple Rabbit]

the evidence for the fact that some brain is neccessary for experiencing consciousness of any sort is overwhelming.

I unreservedly agree. The soul I think is different... with different cultures placing it's location above/ outside the head, in the head, in the chest, in the stomach.

Name one feature of the thing you call soul that sets it separate from consciousness.

Information is a particular ordering of states. Information in the brain is composed of particular patterns, which in turn the main EEG is just an integral over time of all patterns. Hence there is nothing new here. So what? You want to argue that information is truly unique? It isn't. A physical process interred it and now keeps it shuffling around like a slowly decaying zombie. Don't feed it, you lose it eventually. And that is our bad analogy for the brain. Zombies are most appropriate.

If consciousness is fully explained by information processess in the brain then show me how neuronal activities can give rise to perception of "I".
