> One of my most interesting authors, I've mentioned before, Gerald Schroeder, 40 years a Ph.D. particle physics researcher, 30+ years an Old Test. studies in the most ancient form of Hebrew, has a new book: "God, According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along". -I have just read Schroeder's chapter on life and death. He accepts that consciousness and mind are at the quantum level. He uses Pin van Lommel's Lancet article on NDE to make his point, as I did 5 years ago. Of course then, the afterlife is also at that level. He quotes Robert Sapolsky, Stanford U prof. of neurology:" Despite zillions of us neurologists slaving away at the subject, we still don't know how the brain works". (Sci. Am. March 2003, pg.71)-A quote of Schroeder's re' the Big Bang: "The idea that there is a non physical aspect to brain-mind interface accords with our understanding of the act of creation itself. The big-bang creation of our universe was exactly that. Some totally metaphysical nonthing, either God according to the Bible or a quantum fluctuation according to NASA, created the physical universe from absolute nothing. The metaphysical became manifest as the physical. This being the case for our cosmic origins, positing a nonphysical (that is, a metaphysical) aspect for the consciousness of our minds is merely an extention of the scientific understanding of the totality of existence." pg. 148-A nod to Vic Stenger. He and NASA agree. Both theories are non-falsifiable and therefore non proveable. Perhaps both are right: God made the quantum fluctuation. Comments any one?
