Scientists bridging the spirituality gap

[ParkBoyz]

spirit, huh?

I get a headache when I hear words like that

what we know is that our so called mind is entirely based on biochemical processes that happen in our brain; it is the way neurons are wired and the signaling molecules that they exchange that determines our cognitive abilities

what these people study is what's different in the brain of people who are deeply religious, absolutely useless, if you ask me, but anyway, they're interested in the problem

Who told you that lie folx? Scientists have yet to determine the force behind consciousness.. Who led you to believe that the mind and the brain are one and the same? There's good evidence in fact to the contrary, that the mind is a separate entity, which punches more holes into the evolution theory. And they're not studying religion per say, they're studying the effects of an enlightened, or religious like experience, which is obviously a real experience that deserves inquiry.

When scientists try to debate spiritiualilty....all they are doing is giving religious believers more ground to discredit Science itself.

You don't understand what I am saying. According to spiritual/religious concepts, it is the living entity (aka "spirit") that animates the body and sets off these biochemical processes in the physical brain. So when they pose a question trying to determine if God is outside of the brain or not, they are implying that such a thing must somehow reveal something contrary to known physical processes in order for it to be determined that God is outside the brain/mind. But since the known physical processes are results of the presence of the living entity (which is spirit) then to assume that activity pertaining to God will have some other-worldly, sporadic effect in the brain is foolish. It most likely won't have any such effect, and that will not determine a presence outside the brain or otherwise.

 

[HERESY]

Anyone who believes the MIND is the BRAIN needs to take an intro psychology course at their local JC or CC. Get a fee waver or something if you can't afford the cost, but take your ass to school.

If you get a headache from seeing the word spirit, you need to go to your doctor and get something for your disorder. Or get some headache medicine from the store and shut the fuck up.

It's a you say ta-mae-toe I say tah-mah-toe sort of thing.

My take on much of religious reasoning is its an ancient way of explaining our world and science is a modern way of doing so, but its all the same.

i think religion was also the way of teaching the truth to the people, only i am very positive that humans have always been complex and interesting.
i fail to see those from the beginning of mankind living like animals.
im sure they made the best out of what they had and that they would probably shock us with how advanced their civilization was, or literature and the like, and even their science and understanding of their world.

with that said, i would say that the books were widely known to have hidden meanings instead of it being literal and very boring.
I think that because if you look at what the books teach, you will see many helpful and friendly tips and ways of living, such as i was taught in islam. And then suddenly you are taught to hate a nonbeliever.
like wtf happened to the prior teachings?

also, when i take ONLY jesus' quotes and interpret them in my own spiritual matter, they make complete sense.
Things such as The kingdom of heaven is within, meaning that heaven is internal is completely spiritual, but NOT an eternal torture for misunderstanding this very very difficult challenge...
