It kinda does matter.  Since as you know scientists today make more sense then scientsits back then.

Claiming a need for emperical evidence is interesting considering the debate we just had a week or two back where you were for the Quantum mind theory though... considering its considerably less likely then other consiousness theories and has no emperical backing.

 

None of the theories of consciousness have emperical backing. I merely claimed that quantum mind is one hypothesis.

How does what you state here differ with people who believe in a god?

Though there is empircal evidence against QMT.

1). It is possible for quantum mind to be falsified. As such it is a valid scientific hypothesis, god isn't.

2). My belief that it is possibly true (I'm really not convinced) does not make it true any more than the beliefs of these scientists makes god true

3). There are well established scientific theories and scientific facts which contradict the literal interpretation of the bible. While these are not absolute they do seem to weigh the scales ridiculously heavily againts young earth creationism.

Also can you give me that emperical evidence? I'm really interested in the subject.

1) How so?  If one could prove that reality has always existed would that not go about disproving god?

Also... actually, there is some thought that it can't be disproven. 

2) Never said it did.  Simply illustrating the fact that your being hypocritcal

3) What does literal interpretation of the bible or young earth creationism have to do with anything i've said?

As for the evidence... i already have.  It's been observed that the brain is too hot for quantum effects to work.  Something everyone agrees with execept for a few people who believe in Quantum Mind theory... who have come up with wild specultiive theories on what may be the case... ones that would generally match anything a religious person has done... with the exception that there are plenty of other theories of consiousness that prove promising.

Additionally nuerons are just too big for quantum noise to effect it anyway.  Electrons jumping this way and that isn't going to effect the rock it is a part of afterall.
