In fact, skeptics have elevated this proclivity to have the force of law. In the volume, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, behavioral geneticist Jene Mercer writes, “The law of parsimony, a guiding rule for scientists for hundreds of years, states that given two equally well-supported explanations for a phenomena, we are best advised to choose the simpler one rather than multiplying entities unnecessarily.” Skeptics routinely “choose the simpler” by ignoring and throwing out exceptions and outliers in their data, all the while congratulating themselves for being scientific. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness216 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote this in his contribution to the collection titled Dead as a Doornail: “While most of us would acknowledge some connection between mental function and the brain, we may have failed to see just how deep the connection runs. Even the most abstract mental faculties—and the most specific features and contents of our private mental states—can be mapped directly onto brain functions. … People who suffer from Anton-Babinski syndrome are cortically blind, but they don’t believe they’re blind or consciously blind. They will adamantly insist they can see even in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, dismissing their inability to perform visual tasks by confabulating explanations for their poor performance. … The syndrome results from a specific sort of damage to the occipital lobe of the brain.” Is this wholly a result of brain damage, as the skeptics assert, or is this a clue about the underlying origins and actions of consciousness? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs248 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Capgras syndrome results from lesions in the occipital, temporal, and frontal lobes of the brain. Afflicted patients have the powerful sense that someone they know, particularly a loved one, has been replaced by an imposter. Vilayanur Ramachandran postulates that the problem arises from a failure of the temporal regions responsible for face recognition to communicate with the limbic system regions responsible for emotional responses.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs260 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Cotard’s syndrome, or the delusional belief that you are dead, that you don’t exist, or that you have lost your organs or blood, results from damage to the channels of interaction between the fusiform face area and the limbic system.” What can Creator tell us about this? Are the researchers over-attributing causality to the brain damage alone? Would the same symptoms and delusions inevitably result in any person that suffered similar brain damage?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs219 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Research shows remarkable relationships between brain tumors and brain chemistry, on the one hand, and bizarre thoughts or behaviors, on the other. In one patient the onset of hypersexuality, obsession with pornography, and pedophilia paralleled the growth of a tumor in his right orbitofrontal lobe. When the tumor was removed, his urges lapsed. When the tumor grew back, his pedophilia returned.” What can Creator tell us about this tumor-to-behavior relationship?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs252 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Patients with no history of gambling find themselves overwhelmed with the urge to gamble when their dosages (of Parkinson’s drug pramipexole) cross a particular threshold, sometimes leading them to gamble away their life savings. But when the dosage is reduced, the urge vanishes.” Can Creator tell us what is REALLY going on here?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs235 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even something as common as the effects of a cup of espresso show that those elements of consciousness alleged to survive biological death depend directly upon the brain.” This seems like missing the forest for the trees. Stimulus effects are conditions that arouse the “decision-maker” within, but they do not decide for her or him! Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist ANYTHING. And life calls for a great deal of discerning resistance! Is it safe to say that DECISION is a spiritual function, not a biological function? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs227 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even rats are responsive to the pain of others, refusing to eat when their eating inflicts electric shocks on other rats.” He used this to argue that even morality is a product of evolution. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs263 views0 answers0 votesAtheist evolutionists have a tendency to showcase theory as fact. Matt McCormick wrote, “(Experts)… have now converged on the view that evolution favored hyperactive agency detection devices (HADD). The basic idea is there is survival benefit to detecting or attributing agency or intentionality to many things in our environment. ‘It is better to mistake a boulder for a bear, than a bear for a boulder.’ Mistaking too many things as conscious agents is a helpful error since detecting too few of them can be deadly.” McCormick speculates that this is why we are so quick to believe in brainless consciousness. We can’t help it. McCormick writes, “The prevailing view is that seeing manifestations of God’s conscious will, desires, and goals in the world is a byproduct of HADD.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs247 views0 answers0 votesThe secular headwinds are strong, and appear to be growing stronger.
