Physics/Cosmology can show the likelihood of finitude in universal space-time …
This seems highly unlikely to be correct. If it is, then where is the probability of this calculated. Citation please.
(implying a beginning of physical reality)
This does not necessarilly follow. There could have been a predecessor space-time continuum (or all sorts of other things happening).
If a beginning of physical reality is likely, then physics/cosmology can also show the likelihood of a transcendent intelligence needed to explain the exceedingly, exceedingly high improbability of the fine-tuning of initial conditions and constants needed for any lifeform to develop in our universe.
I.e. the same tired old balderdash you presented in this thread.
Peer-reviewed medical studies of near-death experiences, terminal lucidity, and intelligence in hydrocephalic patients imply a credible possibility, if not a likelihood, of consciousness outside of the physical brain/body as well as survival of that consciousness after clinical death (flat EEG, fixed and dilated pupils, no gag reflex, etc.).
This would appear to be a highly strained implication, a less-than-credible possibility, and no, not a “likelihood” at all.
This sort of hand-waving exactly why I regard such supposedly ‘scientific’ apologetics, especially when presented by somebody that has no expertise in the scientific fields they are making claims about, as essentially ‘bottom-feeding’.
