I guess, in the face of this malarkey, the best thing to do is to quote how this book was trashed by Douglas Mesner, a professional scientific reviewer. Here is his concluding paragraph. QUOTE A "science" book that attempts to justify supernaturalism sometimes holds a certain entertainment value as it attempts to explain away contradictory evidence with contortions of logic. Since The Spiritual Brain merely ignored any data that troubled its thesis, we're denied any such entertainment here. Searching for some redeeming quality, we might be amused at the book's tone as it oscillates from indignant confidence to near-resignation, confessing that the soul's existence cannot be proven. It's similar to the perverse entertainment one might find in witnessing a street-preacher who, while engaged in solo argument ... finds that he is losing.

The "basic scientific experiment" must falsify their revelations. Cheers, Santosh
