Hmm good points. I have never had the pleasure meeting a religious person that wasn't a hypocrite.

Sorry, but what a vain and cheap trickster Deepak Chopra is. At every one of his bold statements that began with "science cannot...", I found myself saying "yet". His entire argument seems to rest on the assumption that consciousness, including how it appears or is represented in the brain, is forever out of the reach of science.

How does this differ from the Christians' worship of gaps? Chopra worships them too; maintaining that god, or at least human spirituality, is just beyond the reach of all human inquiry.

There's every reason to think that given enough time, Chopra's views will become as redundant to people in the (hopefully not too distant) future, as those of Thomas Aquinas or Martin Luther are to us, today.
