QUANTUM MYSTICISM

A fellow Buddhist friend sent me a link to the Huffington Post:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lanza/does-death-exist-new-theo_b_384515.html

My friend was all excited about it. I'd never heard of Robert Lanza. But the article in the Huffington left me skeptical and negative about what he was saying. So I look up the author and found the complete article:

http://www.dynamicdata.com.au/biocentrism.htm

On first reading Biocentrism appeared to be very scientific. And Robert Lanza definitely has credentials. But something didn't sit right. So I read it again and again. It appeared that he was criticizing Creationism. But them it also appeared he endorsing Anthropic Bias. So I decided to check what my favorite Darwinist, Richard Dawkins, thought about a fellow biologist. The same day as the Huffington article was posted, was a complete rebuking posted on Dawkins site. Biocentrism is the Anthropic Bias Principle on steroids.
