There is one escape method popular among animists and pantheists, and that's the idea that the electrons firings of the brain that create the consciousness, are able to essentially "escape", or rather culminate into the different waves and frequencies common on our planet. Thus creating a "ghost" of sorts that exists within the waves.silvermorning624 said:
Of course, this is just wishful thinking. There is no proof of even the memories of human beings that weren't directly recorded while they were alive, existing within the frequencies. Or even whether waves are beefy enough to even be able to contain something as big as a consciousness. Therefor it is illogical to believe that ghosts exist within the waves in our planet. It is, at least, a hypothesis that doesn't seem to have a lot of contradictory findings. And is generally not contradictory to most established scientific theories. Or at least ones that I am educated on. Which I get the feeling it is and I've just never heard it. I'd certainly like to hear how this hypothesis is already debunked or could be tested if it is not already.
It's surprising how many fellow atheists have never heard of such a common religious hypothesis as this, though. Sure, it's not as common as Christian "God is bigger" thinking. But it is an incredibly common hypothesis among the Pagan community. And such logic as this and Gaia hypothesis and other spiritually inspired kinds of hypothesis, are a leading cause of religious conversion to Animism and Naturalist Pantheism instead of Atheism.
Sneaking religious ideas into their belief, based upon nothing other than a apparent lack of evidence against it. Which isn't logical. Being merely an unfounded hypothesis of wishful thinking(Paganism), that slips in the cracks of what science has absolutely disproven. Which is a call for scientists to provide new evidence to disprove religious ideas that have slipped through the cracks, or provide already existing ideas that disprove varying Pagan types of hypothesis.
