There are shamans who exist in modern civilization - they even use iPhones. Did Alex actually say shamanism should replace science, or merely that in our efforts to understand the world shamanism might play a role along with science?
What's the flaw in the argument? I'm looking at the paper so if you could point out what makes no sense we can see if the argument has a flaw.
As for the physical facts seems they would only be observed correlations and cause/effect relationships? Is there any discovery in neuroscience that could only apply to consciousness as produced, rather than transmitted? As such would not the same be true of memory?
The impression I got was that Alex was suggesting that miracles or shamanism were as good explanations as science
But perhaps I was mistaken
I will get back to you on the tennis ball argument
I have no idea what you are saying in your final paragraph
Maybe you could elaborate ?
