The man says I should read what I posted and doesn't even know what I am referring to?

you know it's really rude of you two to just banter back and forth and not answer anyone else's comments or respond to them

How hard is it to back up and find what the claim (theory) made was?

So - who says that 'consciousness is a direct result of matter'?
Is it just you?

but that's not a theory. that's a statement without any evidence. then he posted the link and ran away and at that point, the question was answered. he's ignoring quantum physics, or most of it, anyway. i want to know why he thinks quantum physics is wrong.

how do you know they aren't somewhere else?
watching you from on high.
We know because conciousness is a direct result of matter and once you're buried, you're not on high watching anything...you're 6' under being turned into worm food.

i made an edit to my last post, and would enjoy a response from you. here it is:
imagine my surprise to find people who adore science saying some science is not valid, even though it's backed up by mathematics. that's weird.
Why is that weird?

Far from being something to dislike about science, it's one of the things we love about it...it's able to admit it was wrong in the light of compelling evidence and make a correction, which is something religions are never able to do.

Not at all sir.
I was not running in "defeat" as you tried to put it.
I was preventing myself from ad-hom attacks against the individual in question.
It was courtesy for the thread's integrity...not defeat.
While Quantum Mechanics may one day explain conciousness in a different way, that day isn't today. Neurochemistry however does have a few facts on the subject and some facts are better than just a theory.
But you are free to interpret things however you wish.

you're saying "that" isn't allowed in the conversation but i don't see why not. it's there, it interacts and is part of the event, so why pretend it isn't there or has no bearing on the event?

what part of einstein's theories as regards quantum physics, were wrong?

You want to use it in the conversation...go ahead...more power to you.
As long as you admit what you are saying is still a theory and not a fact.
What I will not do is jump on every explanation that comes my way like a drowning man clings to a life preserver. If that makes me "loop" as you describe, then so be it, I can live with that but I refuse to live my life based on theories.
