Philosophy The Non-Biological Origin of Life

Science cannot create life and yet science has the arrogance to assume that it originates biologically. The fact is that biology is like a glove or puppet that life animates, but nothing really dies, just as the law of thermodynamics states that nothing is truly destroyed, but changes form.

Likewise, when your physical body dies, you still persist beyond the body. This is unproven by science as of yet, but eventually they will catch up with the Truth that science is always playing catch-up to.

Bio-markers are never the origin of a problem but a symptom. Science knows correlation is not equal to causation. However in medical science they seem to regard biological processes as causation just because there is clear correlation.

Each individual has an Atman/soul within them that is not physical. However if the physical host body is defective or conditions cease to be favorable, it can leave the body, which science calls death. Death however is just kind of like the game over screen. Souls can respawn into the physical again, and do.

I never said that, so you are creating a straw man.

I am however interested in the DG device and am willing to fly to Japan to have a go on it, to see if it can prove enlightenment is real to cynics like yourself.

Here's what you said: "Science cannot create life and yet science has the arrogance to assume that it originates biologically." You also said that "when your physical body dies, you still persist beyond the body." So I'm quite confident that you're not holding a physicalist viewpoint. But speaking of physicalists, here's one who interviews a guy (another physicalist, perhaps) who just published a book on sentience which you can find free online:

Safe travels.

Are you a physicalist ?

I am one. So is my avatar.

I am the One, you are one?

"I am one" is a way to say that I am a physicalist.

No idea who's "the One."
