There is a book called "The Encyclopedia of Ignorance" which is not for idiots. The editors asked about 30 of the worlds leading scientists in cosmology, nuclear physics, biology, and psychology to write an essay on a topic in their field that they felt was a frontier or poorly understood. Here are famous scientists talking about the possible existence of a soul and attempting to prove it. One even hypothesized that intelligence is a natural phenomeon that spontaneously happens throughout the universe when a certain epoch in the universe's evolution is reached! This book is a fascinating look at the fringes of science. It is rare to see authorities exposing their ignorance and puzzlement over the phenomena we call "reality". The questions and answers (a few) in this book make religion and god look like kindergarten lessons in logic. Glenn at Ampex
