Self, and space-time

One thing that strikes me about these writings and this quiz(http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx) is how poor modern discourse is on this topic. I see absolutely no reason why this topic can’t be discussed in impersonal and objective terms without falling into sentimental mushiness, bringing in an intelligent designer, or resorting to some form of idealism. The Darwinian atheist can scoff, but the relationship between the psycho-physical organism (or, if you will, the psycho-physical process) and space-time is much more complex than they can imagine.
Here’s one of the most read posts on this subject here on this blog:
