From: "Mario Goveia" <mgov...@sbcglobal.net>
As the only real voice of reason, truth and peace on Goanet, I am sorry to
inform you that you cannot have it both ways.
Why? Because, if I am right, it proves that all this neuroscientific mumbo
jumbo on the existence of God is a collossal waste of time and effort.
***Thank you for your interesting and entertaining posting about Science and
the existence of God. I agree to disagree with you that because the
existence of God cannot be proved or disproved by Science, there is no
scientific basis for the mystical experience. It is the human brain that
receives the impact of the reality outside it, and therefore my point is
that the mystical experience is not an "hallucination". It is rooted in the
reality. God has entered the human history, we can feel it in history, by
effects and consequences, individual and societal.
I don't think God cares what some people think. Besides, we will all find
out who was right shortly:-)) If I find out before you, I'll be sure to
try and let all Goanetters know:-))
***We have to find it out before we go there!... God himself has revealed
it, why not listen to him now only? I am not telling you from my brain, but
from God's Revelation accepted by the believers... I am trying to spell out
what history and science can tell us about it.
Come to think about it, Mario Beauregard may have better luck doing peer
reviewed neuroscientific studies on the motives of scientists on both
sides of the debate on whether climate change is being caused by humans,
and that the sky will fall if we don't do something real soon. That may
be a better contribution to humanity:-))
*** As far as I know, this is not his scope in experimenting in
neuroscience...
You are very welcome, Padre Ivo, though I was not aware that I was
encroaching on space that you needed:-))
***No, no! You are not encroaching on my space! That is your space! You can
read more and entertain us more!
I'm glad you noticed that the awesome breadth of my never humble coverage
is as vast as the deep blue sky:-))
***I can feel the power of your brain!
I'm pretty sure that Goanet is big enough for both of us, but if you need
more space, please let me know and I will make space for you, especially
now that there is a move afoot to pick "entertaining" posts for special
recognition, since entertaining Goanetters is at the bottom of my list of
priorities, whereas you may be a top candidate whether you want to or not.
**Oh! No! I would not like to compete with you! Nor do I need recognition!
So far I had enough space on Goanet!
Just kidding, Padre. Mea maxima culpa:-))
This is entertaining posting, it needs special recognition. I was also
kidding...
Sans rancune!
Regards.
Fr.Ivo
