Summary
Does the soul survive death—or is consciousness just brain chemistry? In this mind-bending episode, Father Spitzer takes us into the eerie world where science meets the supernatural. He shares real cases that defy everything we thought we knew: patients speaking with no brain activity, a man living a normal life with almost no brain, and a 4-year-old recounting his sister’s miscarriage—before he was even born. Even unborn babies might experience consciousness.
If the brain isn’t the source of consciousness, science may be closer to proving the soul than ever before.
