[MD] Consciousness a la Platt/Ham

[Krimel]

Ham,

So let me get this straight in an effort to "...to see what the scientific
objectivists themselves had to say on the matter." You turn to Apologetics
Press? This is a fundamentalist Christian printing house.

The first half of your article concludes:

"Twenty-five years earlier, Dr. Eccles had been even more specific. He
wrote, incredibly: 

The arguments presented by [American biologist H.S.] Jennings preclude me
from believing that my experiencing self has an existence that merely is
derivative from my brain with its biological origin, and with its
development under instructions derived from my genetic inheritance. If we
follow Jennings, as I do, in his arguments and inferences, we come to the
religious concept of the soul and its special creation by God.... 

I cannot believe that this wonderful divine gift of a conscious existence
has no further future, no possibility of another existence under some other,
unimaginable conditions (1967, p. 24, emp. added). 

Neither can we!"

The only surprise is that it took you 12 tried at Google to find the
religious fringe.
