Scientists offer quantum theory of soul's existence

So theoretically you believe you could still be alive, but without your soul?

The grip gets loosened and the soul "escapes" but then the body survives as is....

No, well that's really a different topic, but I believe the soul wonders around when we are unconscious while maintaining contact, via walkie talkie ;) with the mind...

Yeah, atheists should read that...how can you dispute intelligent design with information like that?

I am atheist, strangely enough in 2000 I had an out of body experience while tripping on mushrooms, which somebody posted an article about above!

Are you still an Atheist to this day?

So you still think this is all some big cosmic accident?

Yes I am still atheist, I'm a lot more spiritual now and had to rethink everything!

No one has a clue. What about Alzheimer's or retarded people? The study seems to suggest the brain has to be healthy at death to become soul. Do retarded people have souls? What could they possibly become?

No, it's a repeating cycle like everything you know about life so far! We are reincarnated again and again and have been for who knows how long!

That too could make sense.

At least you are willing to rethink things. Many are not.

If the soul is part of our brains, do we instantly remember our past lives once we die?

If we have past lives that is.

But that shows a belief of an intelligent design...unless you think the universe is insane and keeps repeating the same accidents over and over...

well intelligent design would fit with this theory, we are essentially living in the "Matrix"!

My personal belief is the brain is a machine that interrupts or interacts with our soul. The soul lives nearby or within. Could explain why on average your body will replace every cell every 7 years and you don't lose memory or self.

This doesn't explain anything. You don't loose tattoos after 7 years while all cells are new.

If the word "God" is unsettling for you then call it whatever you like...but you don't demonstrate the characteristics of an atheist...




:atheism583986:

Assertions, uncertainty, hypothesis do not qualify as to quantum operations nor aural potential, regardless of how it appears.

The soul is the silver cord, the ethric fire, the radiance of life energy from our sacred heart and its potential is immortal and as a result, indefinable.

LOL, that's funny...but the ink is still there, the damaged tissue (scar) cannot be repaired...

A PAIR of world-renowned quantum scientists say they can prove the existence of the soul.

American Dr Stuart Hameroff and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose developed a quantum theory of consciousness asserting that our souls are contained inside structures called microtubules which live within our brain cells.

Their idea stems from the notion of the brain as a biological computer, "with 100 billion neurons and their axonal firings and synaptic connections acting as information networks".

They argue that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects inside these microtubules - a process they call orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).

In a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Or in layman's terms, the soul does not die but returns to the universe.
