"one of the reasons Flew changed his mind was what he saw as evidence for a soul in near death experiences.
I believe in life after death and a soul, and I don't believe in God. I see them as ordinary parts of nature. "

Trevor - why have you every reason to believe that? "
Simon Paynton replied to Richard C.'s discussion 'Atheist and science … A challenge to thinking on other topics'"So scientific evidence point to a supernatural cause of the universe who was also its designer.
No it doesn't. It says we don't know. "
Simon Paynton replied to Richard C.'s discussion 'Atheist and science … A challenge to thinking on other topics'"A mulitverse explanation sounds reasonable. If there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 different universes, or whatever, then one of them is likely to be like ours. A supernatural creator, on this evidence alone, also seems reasonable. …"

Simon Paynton replied to Richard C.'s discussion 'Atheist and science … A challenge to thinking on other topics'"Yes, as an atheist I think it is foolish and limiting to say that reality has to fit inside the framework consistent with current scientific knowledge.

Trevor replied to Richard C.'s discussion 'Atheist and science … A challenge to thinking on other topics'"This is actually funny, in a strange kind of way.
