> Tony: The difference being that you believe in some form of eternally conscious soul, where as I don't. If a hard drive crashes and dies, it is still possible to recover the information off of the hard drive, but that in and of itself does not make the data active again. It simply means that the information is conserved.-You are using computer programming analogies, but our consciousness is far more than any computer will ever generate. van Lommel, the cardiologist from the Netherlands, in his book Consciousness Beyond Life, 2007, and Chris Carter in Science and the Near Death Experience /i], 2010, both think the brain acts as a radio receiver for consciousness, which in part is why I think of God as the universal consciousness. One can conceive of the soul as being a loan from God and returns to Him with death. The NDE's suggest the souls retain their identity. and are functional.
