Is there scientific proof of the soul? Joining Frank in this eye-opening podcast episode is Dr. Michael Egnor, a practicing neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and Professor of Neurosurgery at Stony Brook University. In his new book, 'The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul', co-authored with Denise O’Leary, Dr. Egnor draws from over 7,000 brain surgeries and decades of experience to challenge the popular materialist view of the human person. Together, Frank and Michael will tackle questions like:
- How did a spiritual experience involving his son change Dr. Egnor’s worldview?
- What is the scientific evidence for the soul and the mind?
- Is there a difference between the mind and the brain?
- What do conjoined twins and patients with missing brain parts reveal about consciousness?
- How are verifiable Near Death Experiences evidence for the soul?
- Why do most neuroscientists still cling to materialism despite contrary evidence?
From fascinating case studies to philosophical insights from Aquinas and Aristotle, this episode will challenge the materialist narrative that you are just your brain. If you know someone who’s scientifically minded but open to deeper questions about human nature, this book is a must read!
