Neurolaw's chilling developments

The materialists' ideological attachment to the idea that your innermost thoughts and feelings are nothing more than the result of chemicals sloshing about in the sack of your brain is now taking an eerie turn into the courtroom with the new field of "neurolaw". This is the notion that their fantastical neurobabble should be used as evidence in court or for deciding sentencing; they're selling the idea of the Ultimate Lie Detector but really the whole thing's as convincing as a Fairy Powered Dream Machine. Given everything else that's happening in society with special "human rights" commissions being set up to stop pastors from preaching against the sodomite machine and the push to redefine Intelligent Design as a "hate crime" you have to wonder how long until the Darwin Police are scanning people's brains to find out whether you're sympathetic to Intelligent Design and whammo if you're not marching with the atheist herd then it's off to the gulag or badthink reeducation camp for you. As someone who helped write the Constitution I don't understand how the country that built the canadarm has come to the point where this is something which looks like it could really happen.

Popular media "getting" the problem with atheist neuroscience?

Popular media is finally waking up to the death of materialist neuroscience as 'Time' examines the placebo effect:
Exactly why the placebo and nocebo responses arise is a puzzle
The helplessness of materialists to explain the placebo effect shows that the other option - that the mind is the product of the nonmaterial soul being beamed into the person by God - is a more elegant solution.
There have been excellent books written about this by leading scholars of the subject, and are available on audio CD.

Hyenas bury materialist neuroscience deeper

The Darwinianist orthodoxy's insistence that we're so close to chimps fails again as researchers discover that hyenas are smarter than chimps at solving rope-related problems which any human infant would solve in an instant. If humans were really just 99% the same as chimps the apes should have cinched this, and moved on to typing Shakespeare after retrieving the food prize. Just as an excellent recent book compellingly argues this shows that thought cannot be the result of simple dumb molecules bumping around. Don't expect to see this news on too many front pages, though.
