[QUOTE=avandonk;706053]When braindead people cannot agree that dead cells is not where your mind is. I am wasting my time.

I did not say that the mind was in my dead cells. Neither am I brain dead. I as an entity am connected to all that has gone before. Where did you start Bert? With your parents, with their parents, logic dictates you started at the same time everything else did.
-If you want to invoke any sort of religion you are welcome to it. I find any sort of religion a pathetic copout for real analysis.
I realize Bert you have a problem with religion. But please note that nowhere have I invoked religion as an explanation for two occurrences in my life. I have merely recounted two experiences that I have had and asked for some scientific help in understanding them.

Of course superstitions can be scientifically investigated. That's why some beliefs are called superstitions... they have been investigated and found to be false and yet people keep on believing them.

I would be a fool to doubt your ability to bring up absolute idiocy... but my watch tells me it started 5 minutes ago.
Descartes walks into his favourite tavern and the barkeep says 'I take it you will have your regular' Descartes looks at him, ponders for a moment, says 'I think not'... and promptly disappears!
