tackattack Wrote:Why wouldn't we? If our primary known inputs for memory into the mind are interrupted (blackouts, or unconsciousness , etc.) then there would be a blank in our conscious mind over that period.If our conscious minds were indeed souls (rather than generated by the brain), which can, among other things, perceive time, than we certainly would expect people who have been unconscious for weeks or months to be able to tell how much time has passed. The fact that they can't, that they usually report it felt like a very short period of time, severely undermines the plausibility of the souls existing.
By the way, what do you think of this article against NDEs? I used to believe in souls for quite some time after I stopped believing in God, souls seemed to me far less absurd than God, but that article really opened my eyes. How much have I been misled to by the apologetic literature (that's readily available in Croatian, but the atheist literature isn't so much)...
