The quote clearly states what Krauss likes about the idea of a universe without purpose. He is not claiming to know that the universe does not have a purpose. You really should read a book on how the scientific process works so you can understand Krauss's mindset.

If he was making a claim that he knows the universe does not have a purpose, he would have stated it. You would have seen phrases in his statement such as, "Given that I know that our universe has no purpose...".


I did not read his book and i never heard about him before.
All i rely on in order to make a comment about him is the reference that Zebra brought in
and in this reference it state about an universe without a purpose.




Quote:Simply no.  
Scientists have found that consciousness is a product of a physical brain. Consciousness has never been observed absent a brain. There is no demonstrable evidence that shows otherwise.



Garbage.
Scientists have only found that consciousness can not function in the absence of a brain.
Does this means that the consciousness is a product of the brain?
Of course not.
Can a vehicle go without a driver?
Of course not.
They both need each other to function as far as they want to function in this universe.
But that doesn't mean that the driver can NOT get out of the vehicle and function without the vehicle
when the vehicle rot away.
Scientists only work on this particular arena or universe in which we live so what happen outside this 
universe is hypothetical all up in the air so to speak.




Quote:NDE's have never been proved to be anything other than a brain state brought about by a brain under extreme stress, releasing a chemical soup.



Wrong again.
If it is all bullshit how could many NDEs continue to experience and then describe what they have seen when their brain was totally off?
They described what happened in other rooms of the hospital and this was proven correct.




Quote:Ah, no.
People that suffer brain injuries can have their entire personality reset and become a completely different person. This happened to my aunt.
If consciousness is not a product of the physical brain, why would physical damage cause such drastic alterations?
Physical damage to the area in her physical brain that controls emotion, caused her to become a different person. 
Complete rubbish. You have no idea what you are talking about.
The last decade of research into neuroscience has simply passed by your failed understanding. 



The karma law can reset back your consciousness even at the stage to make you become totally demented.
We get our ideas from two totally different point of view.
According to me all the system works around action and reactions.
This is also a base of the law of physic but according to you i guess is all related to what happen right now in this
life so it is obvious that you can't see what it is not right in front of your nose.
Neuroscience is also based within the parameters of this physical universe so no wonder that they can't understand what is outside.
Brain is matter while the consciousness is something far far more great.
Since when the small can control the big?
