Consciousness and Reincarnation: A Scientific Perspective

  • Thread starter solipsis

In summary, if a person has consciousness from the moment of conception, then it's possible for them to have a state of consciousness that arises from a state of unconsciousness. However, this is highly unlikely and would require a lot of luck.

All claims must be backed up by mainstream scienctific publications.

Overly speculative posts and personal theories are not allowed.

These are the forum guidelines.

There is no possible way in which to back up philosophical "Luft" of any magnitude, coming from anyone (ranging an unknown to giants of philosophy) , with mainstream scientific papers.

Any post in philosophy regarding science or maths is subject to the same rules of the other forums. Philosophy forum rules, not mine.

The claims made are regarding a "life force" inside all living beings and the differences between being alive and dead. This is a Biology topic and better answers given in the biology forums for the claims made in those posts - to continue discussion here won't provide anything meaningful without someone who can give better input regarding the topic.

As per the posts themselves, they were an alternative hypothesis on the subject and they are specifically banned.

But hey, if the moderators feel the rules can be applied as they see fit and ignored where they don't wish to enforce them then so be it. It just lowers the quality of the forums.

Let moderators handle it. A philosophy forum is the last place where anyone should ask for references from scientific journals. They are as inappropriate as asking a writer of SF literature for scientific papers to abck up his books.

One the other hand, I have to congratulate you for your outstanding conformity and obedience to the rules. I think that any newcomer to those forums should look up to you and learn from your example.
