I don't need to. You're the one asserting an existence: it's up to you

I already said that near death experiences are suggestive of mind 
exiting in realms out side of biological brain. Note that this is 
evidence, not proof. Go ahead and now tell us that you won't believe any 
evidence, but only proof. That isn't science.

It't not my job to educate you. If you took some time to actually do a 
search on the subject and get some basic information there might be a 
discussion instead all you want is a political/religious debate. 
Obviously that is not science.

do you accept that that the series of "remote viewing" experiments are 
real and produced suggestive results? IF you deny them, then there can 
be no discussion.

So you do not accept "modern" physics ideas? You reject physics as 
lunacy? Well, then what DO you accept as interesting or true?

Oh look Muffy. Here's the college debate team demanding that the 
opposition provide total justification for any premise, but the debater 
can't be bothered to even define his terms and uses "name calling" as 
his version of "science". Yeah real scientific.

Wow! We independently both came up with the "pointy little head" slam! 
We are obviously both imperial thinkers on our way to a great new 
theoretical breakthrough!

> Furthewr idiot misconstructions of what I said treated as they deserve:

Deserve in your uniformed opinion.

I suggest you retreat back to your Ivory Tower where science is done by 
political debate and majority vote.

That has just two problems: first, it's a mere asserion; second,
it asserts a suggestion.

You have provided no evidence, only an assertion. Of a suggestion. at
that.

You've put forward a proposition. If you want it accepted, you have in
fromt of you the job of showing cause to accept it.

Haven't seen them. Have seen multitudes of ESP "experiments" over the
years. They're all fraudulent at best. I have no interest in wasting
my time with more of the same. If you want what you're pushing to be
accepted, show some evidence; don't just make assertions.

That doesn't matter. What matters here is your need to state your
proposition clearly and show cause to accept it.

I repeat: you're the one putting forward a proposition. If you can't
show cause to accept it in physical terms try the whackoes in the
religious groups. Their standards of "evidence" might suit you better.

Not interested in discussion of ideas, only belief, I see. That's not 
science. It'e religion.

And you assertion that they are all "fraudulent" is backed with what? 
Your opinion? An reasonable research into what has been done 
demonstrated that such claims are baseless and not even accepted among 
skeptics.  So I won't waste your time with any discussion of facts when 
you have truth ready right from your imagination.

Yada yada yada. Yeah. you are king shit and everybody needs to bow and 
scrape and convince you that your religion needs to be adjusted. Sorry 
this is a science group and not a fundie meeting.

I have pointed out statistical data on ESP through remote viewing 
research. I"ve pointed out that it was published in IEEE. There are 
other well-known experimentalists none of which you deign to even look 
up. YOu just cross your arms and pout and say YOU make me believe that 
Jesus isn't my savior! Yeah this discussion is going to get for. NOT.

I have no idea what "copyvatting" is. You are simply too intellectual 
for me and you have run my worthless ass right out of this group as so 
many others have before you. You da man.

That's your position, liar. You're wasting your time and mine trying
to progect your superstitions into me; though there are morons here
gullible enough to be taken in by such idiocies, I am the only person
it would do you any good to convince, and I'm`not one of them.

> That's not science. It'e religion.

Yes. It would be well if you stopped trying to push it in here. As
I said earlier, go and bother the kooks in the religious groups.

I note in buried in your drivel I've snipped from below your offer
to cease wasting my time. I accept with thanks.

Extend it to the groop, please.

"rubbish" is not English...it is Englandish.

That's not much of a postulate.  
It's not even a complete sentence. 
And "persistence of consciousness" 
certainly doesn't clearly demonstrate 
that "mind can exist apart from brain." 

My computer shows persistence of memory 
but that's because it contains
billions of memory cells
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(binary)
INSIDE it.

In the same way,
I have persistence of consciousness
because of internal memory.

What the computer cannot do
(I would postulate)
is experience frustration, contentment, pain, or lust
or experience the color of green or blue.
or desire to play a video game.
It can go through the actions,
and make me believe it feels,
because someone has programmed it to do so.
But it does not feel.

There is no such thing as 'persistence of consciouness'...

you never heard of, "unconsciouness"???

When you sleep, ...you become unconsciouns to the point of no
consciouness...then the brain contiunes to process thought/information.

No mind or consciouness is necessary.

Yair, Some frog reckoned it sounds good, and I agree with him.
Sure sounds better than "Je pense, donc j'existe". That "donc"
makes it sound like he's talking about auto engines.

Bent over with laughter, you mean? Of course. You *are* rather funny,

Crap. There are two levels of mind: perception, which involves awareness,
and imprint, which does not. They correspond roughly to what the trick
cyclists call the "conscious" and "unconscious". What most call "thought"
occurs at both levels: at the level of perception it's fantasy; at the
level of imprint it's dream.

Has the thought ever came to you?

When did the idea came to you??


Do you understand the difference between You and where your Idea comes
from? Where was your idea before it came to You??
