If materialism is correct why are soldiers taught not to look at the enemy before stabbing someone in the back?

[Liam]

When I was in the military we were taught never to look at the target for too long from behind as this would spook them out and they would be aware of our presence

I was glad we were told this as it perhaps saved many of my colleagues lifes

yet within science - materialism and therefore atheism teaches us that this is not possible and that the mind is only in the brain


who is wrong here? the scientists or the army?

there is a great video here talking about the extended mind

Arantheal - lol - there is vast amounts of evidence - plenty of studies are even given on the video which you have not even watched
emagidson - that is a great example
Crash Helmet Badger - i was in the royal navy - we were taught it there
arantheal - plenty here - http://www.sheldrake.org/research/sense-...on-staring

What kind of an army were you in?

[Arantheal Â]

Your evidence that looking at someone makes them aware of your presence? Right you didn't have any as usual. You're all about science until you're asked to actually do some.

Edit: Sure, of course there were. Citations of repeatable experiments?

Edit 2: I said repeatable. Quote from your link: "there are hints of an effect, but also a shortage of independent replications and theoretical concepts." In other words you have nothing.

it's a fact. if you go to a shopping center and look at women's butts, over 80% of them will reach back and brush or cover their rear in response to your look.

Eye's on target dude...

[Hope is certainty]

All minds are connected in God's mind which creates all that is real. We don't have to kill people to know that; even killing isn't real because we are spirit, not bodies

[XaurreauX]

OUCH! Those intellectual jabs really smart!

[Brother Trucker]

The army is right. They have been researching this many years. Theory does not work in reality and this is not an uncommon occurrence. That's why its theory.

[Patrick4024]

These two things are not even related to each other.

If the U.S. Army can conduct studies to make goats fall over I guess I can believe Canada will teach their army anything it wants too. ( Neither governments will ever TELL you what's going on behind closed doors )
