Latest from Dr Sam Parnia

I've made a few comments in the (comment) section of the video, mainly in response to someone who styles themselves "Aussie naturalist". Nothing wrong with that of course, but he/she seems to think that Parnia is not qualified to study the brain (mind) as he isn't a neuroscientist. Hence what Parnia says is worthless and we shouldn't pay any attention (basically)

This is actually complete nonsense and it's nonsense we've heard before from materialists. Once you make the grade in medicine (you obtain your MD) you can specialise in anything you want to. Parnia actually did spend some time in neuroscience but obviously decided to change course. The term Neuroscience, a relatively new discipline in medicine (beginning properly in the 1960's) now seems to have great reverence in the medical field, as if it's somehow superior to other disciplines such as cardiology or obstetrics, whatever and yet it's not so. 

A lot of it is just hubris because although great strides have been made, they still haven't got a clue how a brain (a three pound lump of protoplasm) can generate thoughts, our consciousness, from nerve cells that produce proteins etc. So, although Parnia has his MD and impressively in addition, a PHD in cell biology, and is a real live working physician who brings people back from the dead every day and who has studied the phenomenon of near death experiences for twenty five years (and is therefore perfectly qualified for such an endeaver), according to Aussie naturalist, he is a charlatan. Yes, naturally.
