where's the human soul after severe brain damage and the person basically isn't "there" anymore" aren't we all just our brains and biology?
If we're nothing but brains and biology, how do we explain people that come out of comas years later? They were "gone" and suddenly they've "returned"? What about cases where they vividly recall details that are verified by healthcare workers that were present, during the coma when there was evidently little or no brain activity?
Someone else made a post about this book, consciousness beyond life I think. The thread was not well received here. I bought the book as it was something like $5 on Amazon at the time and the subject is interesting for sure. The problem with it is that it raises many more questions than it answers, it makes you ponder but leaves you with no more certainty. Unless you were convinced that there was absolutely nothing beyond death, in which case the book *may* lead you to consider the possibility of some form of existence beyond death in spite of the lack of anything truly conclusive.
What is the soul? Same thing going on here, this will raise all types of questions and we'll have the usual lame responses by people that like to sound like a know-it-all.
