Is Consciousness external to central nervous systems?

And I agree with him. Just as I speculate on the possibility of God's existence. We don't know whether God exists or not either. I do think God almost certainly doesn't exist though, and I also find it extremely implausible to say the least that consciousness exists after death.

You can speculate on the possibility of anything.

That's what's so great about speculation and possibility.

Probability is different to possibility. Just because something is possible of course doesn't mean it's probable.
