Hey Jim!
Been a bit since I posted, but I still come here to hear your discussions and various questions of the world. I also study other various sites and came across some interesting articles posted by Marco Biagini who has Ph.D. in Solid State Physics and published various articles fo his work here: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/fedeescienza/biaginien.html
I particularly find this article about the mind and brain and the scientific study leading to the soul fascinating: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/fedeescienza/ ... brain.html
Curious if you have ever heard of him, heard these kinds of discussions, and what your thoughts are. The goal here isn't to say God is the author, but to separate the physical and metaphysical. This seems to be a challenge for some in the scientific field as they prefer we all remain under the physical or materialism by in large. Makes sense though as this is science's purview.
