(June 21, 2014 at 1:28 pm)One Above All Wrote: What self-proclaimed agnostics are trying to do is say "I don't believe, but I don't not believe either", which is utter bullshit. You can't "not believe" but also "not not believe". It's meaningless and makes no sense.

Split brain with one half atheist and one half theist

Quote:Here’s a fascinating snippet from neurologist VS Ramachandran, talking about a split-brain patient. The patient’s right brain believed in God, but the more rational left brain was atheist.

Ramachandran points to the obvious theological problem of what, in the Christian view, happens to such a person after they die; does the right brain go to heaven and the left to hell?

The video of this extract is on the page.

Everyone has a left and right brain so maybe some agnostics really are in two minds about God. Tongue
