Science doesn’t explain consciousness. Quantum mechanics is the only science that even touches it. Nothing exists without a conscious observer. Existence of the universe would require a conscious entity to bring it into existence.

There are many many instances of Near Death Experiences that confirm observation of the spiritual world.

That’s only one school of quantum mechanics [Copenhagen Interpretation.] There are others.

“Nothing exists without a conscious observer.”

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there....

That’s what the name of God actually means I’ve been told. YHWH.

Nothing exists without a conscious observer. Existence of the universe would require a conscious entity to bring it into existence.

To my knowledge, this theory was first advanced by Bishop Berkeley in the early 18th century. I asked my philosophy professor if he could disprove it. (He rapidly changed the subject.)

Essentially, it removes all disputes on the conflicts between mind and matter.

We have always understood that God consciousness is the fundamental reality, not consciousness of God but God’s consciousness.
As His creation we are imbued with His consciousness. This is the key to revealed religion.
Proof of God is not by reason but by accepting the nature of reality. If there is one God there is also a singular unified reality.
Christ demonstrates the consciousness of God in human history.

From the article: Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter.

"Nothing exists without a conscious observer. Existence of the universe would require a conscious entity to bring it into existence."

That's one interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Not the correct one.
