Your comment is strange as to why you compare it to a religion. (Trolling?)
Have you seen his credentials? That guy is a genius and over accomplished in many fields of science. On what grounds or counter evidence do you make your assertion(with emotional bias I might add)?
The obvious reality of the soul/consciousness will eventually be realized/modelled by real science(the older models and theories are broken with holes and are not sufficient). What religion(and most simple logical individuals) have known all along as common sense will be mapped as a standard truth at some point.
Its a shame for objective reasoning when some people pigeon-hold their understanding on dogmatic beliefs.
Lol...
Biology is a subset of science. His specialty is in medicine and stem cells, a subset of biology. He doesn't have any credentials in any other fields of science such as physics, materials science, astronomy, geology, paleontology, etc., so how did you come to the conclusion that he "over accomplished in many fields of science"?
I guess you didn't realized that his website was made to sell his ideas and his books. It lacks substance, evidence. You should try again and find those experiments that were conducted independently of Lanza. Confirmation bias is the reason why you selectively choose to listen to a biologist's perspective about the universe, while ignoring the the perspectives of the chemists, astronomers, astrophycisists, paleontologists, geologists, etc; just like how you selectively believe religious dogma about creationism, while ignoring the evidence discovered by paleontologists, anthropologists, geologists, and, especially, biologists in support on evolution. You trust the biologist only when it's convenient to your beliefs. That's confirmation bias, not science.
P.S. Remember what Neil degrasse Tyson said about evidence and argument from ignorance?
Unless Lanza has the evidence to support biocentrism, he's the police officer in Tyson's discussion.
How fitting that they are all made possible by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I remember a certain unnamed person supposedly claiming to loathe technology...
