I don't want to seriously persue this as a line of argument because way too many distracting issues come up. I wouldn't want to defend parapsychology in general but there is enough there for me to be willing to imagine how the existence of souls might be defined in a meaningful falsifiable way. Its an interesting question. I feel that they neglected to consider the weight of that final bit of air in the lungs that muscle tone tends to retain between breaths - no more muscle tone - las t bit of breath escapes, tiny bit of weight is lost.   Baha`i's are told that the soul is not IN the body mut instead is attached to it in a way that we do not understand. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
