Unfortunately, I have to spend most of my time beating back a horde of nonprofessional and anti-intellectual hecklers, not to mention not a few atheistic and outraged scientists. The answer to your question is that the actual numerical probability that I have assigned is based upon a balanced weighing of the various lines of evidence involved. Bear in mind that I have been studying the matter for nearly 30 years, full time, and have in fact published a major discovery in Psychology (the discovery of the long-sought for Structural Model of Personality) and have also discovered and published the world's first bona fide scientific proof of God. I only mention all that in order to establish my credentials in the fields of Psychology and Theology. As far as Physics goes my credentials are established by the normal Curriculum Vitae which shows that I have a Masters degree in Physics. Okay, having established my credentials in the various fields which bear on the determining of this probability I can sum up the situation briefly as this: 1. Historically, the theory of life after death is at least as old as the Pyramids upon whose walls details of it remain engraved in miles of carefully chiseled hieroglyphics where they can be seen to this day. Furthermore, a psychological and theological investigation of this long history shows unequivocally that the root origin of the idea is intimately connected with the universal human experience of the ordinary nocturnal dream. In short, the only reason why the theory appears plausible enough to have survivedfor 5000 years is that people are strongly persuaded that the phenomenon of nocturnal dreaming is significant evidence of something as yet not fully explained. This latter fact then tells me as an experienced physicist and now accomplished psychologist and theologian that the odds-on probability of their actually being such a thing MUST lie somewhere in the low double digits percentagewise. And I would finally note, that this low double digits opinion appears to be well inline with average public opinion worldwide. 2. From that assessment of 5000 years of recorded history on the subject we then move forward into the scientific argument. And here I am referring specifically to the cytoskeleton-microtubule-computer hypothesis. Let's call it the cytoskeleton-brain hypothesis (CB). 2000 years ago the New Testament writers (St. Paul) using the scientific language of his day advanced a rather specific description of how life after death actually works in I Corinthians chapter 15 vs 35-55. And in what can only be classified now as a colossal coincidence, it turns out that according to my investigations (and confirmed by Stuart Hameroff himself), the CB could very "possibly" resurrect the body to a "living-virtual-reality" inside the CB, just exactly as St. Paul described it. St. Paul referred to it as a "Spiritual body" in the New Testament. 3. Therefore, in my considered opinion, the historical probability, which I assume to be no more than say 15% judging from historical, public and professional opinion, is now raised by virtue of this cytoskeleton-computer possibility to something more like a 30% probability. Simply because the historical belief which obtained at least a 15% credibility with world opinion, now has a plausible and indeed even remarkable scientific explanation. In short, The probability has just been DOUBLED by virtue of the discovery of a plausible scientific explanation. As you can see, it's really a scientific guessing game at this point, a sort of "you bet your life" kind of guessing game. And my guess is that the probability of a real life after death is somewhere around 30%. Now 30% is a long long ways from 51% and even 51% is a long ways from a sure thing. On the other hand given the import of the matter, a quite credible probability of 30% is something that simply cannot be ignored! Hope that goes some ways towards answering your question. ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 =======================================

Only problem is you're counting both ends of each axis. You need to divide by two, 26/2 = 13. These are called the "rotational" symmetry axes of the cube. If you rotate the cube, 90� or 120� are 180� around these various axes the cube rotates back into itself again, which is why they are called "symmetry axes". > > >> >> Believe it or not, if you take 200 adjectives out of a >> dictionary that are used to describe human personality, and >> give them as a checklist to use to describe a given person's >> personality; rating them on each word from 1 to 10, and then >> compute a 200 x 200 correlation matrix of the words it turns >> out that a computer will find that there are ore EXACTLY 13 >> EIGENVECTORS in that 200 x 200 correlation matrix. >> Amazingly, the reason for this is that the brain is >> actually CUBIC which you can see in this diagram here, which >> was drawn by me: >> >> http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond/5X7C01I.jpg >> >> >> This is exactly where the 12 OLYMPIAN GODS (13 actually) >> come from! >> And anyone who does not believe that that is a stunning >> scientific discovery must have a hole in his head! ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 =======================================

You have to appreciate that the Jews learned about religion in Egypt especially monotheism under Akhenaton . The last book Freud ever wrote was called _ Moses and Monotheism_ in which he advanced the theory that Moses was either an Egyptian or half Egyptian and half Jewish, and that as such he essentially gave the Israelites a watered-down version of Akhenaton's monotheistic Sun God religion and then the Jews renamed Aten the supreme deity, Yahweh, which was the name of a volcano god that they picked up in Midian on their way back to the promised land . ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 ======================================= |
