dhw: I am not, however, arguing for dualism or for materialism. I am merely pointing out that Parnia’s articles do not provide evidence that we have a “soul” which survives death, since BOTH suggested unproven hypotheses would solve the mystery he has set us. But I stand by my argument that the materialist solution does NOT solve the mystery of information acquired about events that take place outside the operating theatre. Parnia’s articles make no mention of these.

DAVID: Parnia has concentrated on operating room events. I think he was more surprised at the brief burst of energy, since it was previously unknown. But brief doesn't cover up to 45 minutes of resuscitation which is protecting cortical life with the cells alive but non-functional. Your overall analysis is correct, especially including information learned by the patient while in an NDE that they had not known before the NDE.

dhw: Thank you.

You are welcome.
