============================
Science Uprising
Well-known scientists have been preaching a materialistic worldview rather than presenting the public with all the evidence. We are here to change that. The objective scientific evidence does not prove our universe is blind and purposeless. It does not show we are simply meat machines. It does not prove that evolutionary mechanisms can completely account for the diversity of life on earth. This is what THEY want you to think. Think for yourself and make an informed decision.
Are you ready? The uprising has begun.

@@Skyfoogle- Is it possible that we can still observe what we cannot interact with? If I wanted to do a study on spontaneous healing for example I could still gather evidence for this phenomenon from the before and after. From there I could survey if there was any common correlations such as the person receiving prayer or having a particular spiritual experience. This phenomenon is quite common and has been observed and medically documented. There a person could examine if they can rule out coincidence for all or part of their sample. Perhaps a criterion for what constitutes a miracle might be established. For example if the event had a low probability and was accompanied by an intelligence or purpose. If for example you were praying for protection as a home invader entered your house and then was struck by a meteorite in the head while trying to take aim to shoot you. Still the question remains “Is that odd or is that God?” Perhaps there’s a statistical significance to justify the use of prayer. But we’re talking about actually doing the investigation. Is the purist materialist going to do actual science and try to disprove that materialism is all there is? Probably not even though their own minds and thoughts are not just a domino effect down the line of the Big Bang. Otherwise why would they think arguing with Creationism makes any difference since the Creationist is nothing more than a product of time and chance outside of their control set into motion by an explosion of time, energy and matter. But how the materialist believes borrows from the Creationist belief in free will. Since we can’t even have Materialism without Intelligent Design and the concept of mind it’s impossible to account for everything starting from pure naturalistic causes. So what purpose does it serve to force ourselves to try and understand everything through naturalistic logic when it’s insane to presuppose that the mind we use to understand the universe is itself an accident?

Thankyou - I was taking copious notes on this lecture - Michael Egnor makes numerous points about research that shows a differentiation between mind and the matter of the brain. Then speaks of the clearly dualist implications. Very well thought out - and thought provoking. It was the materialistic issues (e.g., first cause, abiogenesis, failings of natural selection to provide a mechanism for macroevolution, massive coverups and poor science, etc. ) which led me to check out the dualist camp of an intelligent designer. And I would like to learn at a deeper level these clear lines of reasoning in regard to mind, intentionality and free will which also point to the same conclusion. A proper worldview should provide the best explanation in all areas - as truth does not contradict itself.

I only wish the camera person was as good at their job during this interview, the poor Dr is jumping all over the frame because it was apparently filmed with a phone being held by someone. Please consider a $20 portable camera stand, it would do wonders and can be kept in a vehicle or even a briefcase. If me pointing out the shaky camera work makes this harder to watch, just listen to it, the interview works just as well in audio-only form. I do appreciate the work of the Discovery Institute and I don't mean to be critical, but please make an effort to do better for viewers in the future.

Think about it, this doesn't prove anything, let allow our minds are made out of something bizarre that is immaterial and we have no evidence for.

Why is it so difficult to understand that information lives in the abstract world of process and process is simply the behavior of matter? That mind isn't matter is abundantly obvious but that mind is the process of matter should seem equally obvious. Mind is abstract, immaterial. So is process but process is "of" matter so the assertion that mind is of matter in the same way should not cause any confusion. How it happens, well, that takes a pretty thick book to even begin to explain. Here's one that takes a pretty good shot at it... "Godel, Escher, Bach". Read it and you'll be in pretty good shape for understanding how.

The thing is this: believing in matter is believing in something we can never know. Like Kant pointed out, we can never experience a thing in itself, ONLY EVER our own PERCEPTION of it. You can only ever experience your own consciousness. Your experiences of matter is in fact only your experience of consciousness. So the only thing we can really know is experience. Believing in matter is a bit like superstition.

Mind (the internal soul, syntropy) is dual to matter (the external soul, entropy) -- Descartes or Plato's divided line. Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy). Homology is dual to co-homology -- mathematics. Reducing the number of dimensions or states is a syntropic process -- homology, hypervolumes become volumes which become surfaces or planes, planes become lines and lines become points which are zero dimensional. Increasing the number of dimensions or states is an entropic process -- co-homology, points become lines, lines become planes, planes become volumes and volumes become hypervolumes. Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics. From a converging, convex or syntropic perspective everything looks divergent, concave or entropic -- the 2nd law of thermodynamics. All observers have a localized or syntropic perspective -- a focused attention. My syntropy is your entropy and your syntropy is my entropy -- duality. Duality creates reality. "Always two there are" -- Yoda.

I might add another component to this: a person's "Will." Let me explain through my own example. This is not vanity, this is truth. With everything that's happened to me medically: only some examples being a brain injury, the resulting surgeries, and in other life events such as Hurricane Katrina, many people are surprised I'm still sane, (including me). And, I've also suffered from epilepsy--partial frustrating seizures, not full harmful seizures. A few years ago, doctors tried to diagnose where the seizures came from by putting me in a hospital, decreasing my meds, and seeing what might happen. And, they found the seizures--but, according to the brain patterns, the seizures should have knocked me out. But, again, just partial seizures. Still sane, only partial seizures--the reason is Me. My willpower must be separate from my brain. Otherwise I'd at least be insane and probably dead.

The free-will vs free-won't comparison is fascinating to me experientially in my life. My free-will has been delayed for a few periods of time I was taking triazolam for sleep. The next day after adenosine receptor antagonist (caffeine) consumption I would find myself wanting to perform an action but realized it would take me a full 1-2 seconds after deciding that I would engage. Also, the free-won't is a concept taught to baseball players in that we teach them to conceptualize and then engage every pitch as worthy of swinging at...but to then decide to not swing when their brain recognizes the pitch as unhittable or out of the strike-zone.

Michael: This was wonderful ... most helpful. Thank you so much for elucidating a lot of gray areas. I humbly submit a couple of ideas that you probably already understand, but which are fundamental to this lecture. #1: We are a tripartite being created in God's image. He is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are spirit soul and body. These are separate and distinct entities. The inspired Scripture says, He formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). We must understand that we are a soul, we have a spirit, and we live in a body, (our spirit is God conscious, our soul is self conscious, and our body is world conscious) which brings me to point #2: When we die our spirit and soul leave the body (this explains your surgeon friends inability to physically destroy the mind which is part of the soul). Here are defining verses. A. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. B. Luke 8:54-55 But He ... took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. C: 1 Kings 17:21-22 And he ... cried unto the Lord, and said, "O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again". And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. this is the extremely shortened version. More is available if you wish. God bless you.

Tasks that people do that are not usually necessary to survive, tasks where efficiency isn't crucial, those tend to be spread out and to use whatever brain resources are available to do those things. If higher intellectual functions are not functions of the brain, but functions of a consciousness outside of the brain, can we develop an experiment to test this claim? Maybe we measure people's performance on some highly intellectual task, give random people a drug that could inhibit brain function, or just alcohol, and give a control group a drug that might make them feel strange but that does not inhibit brain function, and see if the two groups have comparable shifts in performance. What do you think would happen?

So in other words people must become experiment subjects to satisfy your ego. There are already many experiments done on humans, why do you need even more? What will that change? If you use drugs, the main functions of brain are going to trash. Any drug paralyzes the brain and keeps you in a state of dream, halusination etc. That has been done in previous years, from people that did not respect human rights, and you call for another similar experiment, instead of reading the conclusions of these people conclusions. Where or when will this experimental stage will stop? When will your ego is going to be satisfied? Why do you people want to be cruel to other people? How about if I'd take you and experiment on you, would you like to be my experiment subject thus, to make my own conclusions? Are you people mad on something. or someone?

What about dementia or Alzheimer's? How does that reconcile with the points made here? These individuals change a ton. What's the argument for the soul if these diseases can change the person so much? I'm a Christian theist and I'm genuinely curious.

Maybe that is why he kept on stressing the concept of dualism; meaning that our mind is the result of two things. The physical brain and then something else embedded within the brain (our soul? Our true intellect?).

My understanding on these concepts is that the brain could be looked at more as a receiver than a producer. If you damage a radio, it may not work, or static, etc but the signal itself is still out there and fine... Just can't be picked up properly by the radio when it's damaged. So brain damage would do the same.. The signal would not be received properly any more and therefore... Well, static..

Mind (the internal soul, syntropy) is dual to matter (the external soul, entropy) -- Descartes or Plato's divided line. Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy). Homology is dual to co-homology -- mathematics. Reducing the number of dimensions or states is a syntropic process -- in homology, hypervolumes become volumes which become surfaces or planes, planes become lines and lines become points which are zero dimensional. Increasing the number of dimensions or states is an entropic process -- in co-homology, points become lines, lines become planes, planes become volumes and volumes become hypervolumes. Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics. From a converging, convex or syntropic perspective everything looks divergent, concave or entropic -- the 2nd law of thermodynamics. All observers have a localized or syntropic perspective -- a focused attention. My syntropy is your entropy and your syntropy is my entropy -- duality. Duality creates reality. "Always two there are" -- Yoda.

Our purpose is beyond our understanding We see the basics and assume the purpose but really don't comprehend its overall purpose. When we are free from the constraints of the physical brain the essence of our being will be revealed.
