Merged The razor of Hitchens and the Spirits!

Calderaro said:
Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) is a theory proposed by physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff that suggests a connection between quantum mechanics and human consciousness.
The Orch OR theory also raises questions about life after death. Hameroff suggests that after physical death, the
quantum information contained in
microtubules is not destroyed, but rather dispersed throughout the universe. This implies that consciousness may continue to exist at some level outside the physical body, possibly in other universes or realities.This view is in line with some spiritual and philosophical beliefs about reincarnation and the continuity of the soul.

I'd suggest you don't know what these things are, yes they make a sentence sound very clever, but literally a minutes research would tell you it makes no sense.

And balrogs, pixies, faeries, and angels have similar "understandings" among those who believe in them. The willingness or ability to assign conjectural properties to the objects of one's fantasies does not make them credible or real.

That may be be your belief, but it is not mine. Nor is there any rational reason to believe the statement.

The word 'understood' is being misused in this sentence*, 'believed to be' be would be the most generous alternative, 'claimed to be' would be more accurate but given the utter lack of evidence for their existence 'imagined to be' would be most accurate at this time.


*Since you like logical fallacies, you are begging the question that there is actually something to be understood.

So far you have only anecdotes that attribute various happenings to the purported activities of spirits, and various pseudoscientific attempts to dress that up. That's not any kind of evidence, even anecdotal. It's just circular reasoning and question begging—in your case followed by name-calling when people don't fall for it.

Why do you only accept extraordinary empirical evidence?

For the same reason we gave you every other time you've asked this question.

For me it is impossible to present extraordinary empirical evidence!

If you cannot provide testable evidence for your claims, you must accept that you will never be able to convince people who justifiably want that kind of evidence for things they're asked to believe in.
