VII) LINKS TO DR. BAUMANN'S BOOKS
I) T. “Lee” Baumann, MD is the author of "God at the Speed of Light: The Melding of Science and Spirituality" (one of the physics books to have inspired the popular CBS TV series “Joan of Arcadia”), "Window to God" (a scientific analysis of the medical diagnoses divined by clairvoyant Edgar Cayce), "The Akashic Light: Religion’s Common Thread" (a comparative religious text which examines the supernatural qualities of light throughout the world’s religions), and, his first novel, "The Seagu11 Project: a black hole science adventure to the center of our galaxy." In "The Seagu11 Project," Dr. Baumann even enlisted the aid of university professors to add to the story’s veracity and credibility.
Lee has also been featured in the TV documentaries "The Evidence for Heaven" and "The Search for Heaven," both Grizzly Adams productions.
DR. BAUMANN is a medical consultant in Birmingham, Alabama. He holds medical certifications in internal medicine, geriatrics, and medical management.
BEGINNING his spiritual journey as a religious skeptic in the 1970's, Dr. Baumann now writes books defending spirituality, based upon the incredible link between worldwide descriptions of God and the proven, scientific nature of physical Light. For instance, the major religious texts of the world all describe God in terms of Light. Near-death experiences describe going to a light that is welcoming, intelligent, and loving. Science and physics experiments suggest that Light is omnipresent (everywhere), omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent, and conscious - results from light's peculiar quantum nature, including the cessation of time!
COULD IT BE that light and God are one and the same? Lee Baumann makes a case for exactly that. From many sources, Baumann has synthesized a compelling picture of what may be the true nature of our universe at all levels - physical, mental, and spiritual.

5:00 Close
INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS:
1) "ARE GOD AND LIGHT THE SAME?": This landmark presentation discusses the extraordinary feature of light in the near-death experience (NDE) and other paranormal phenomena. The scientific, physical properties of light waves are reviewed and compared to similar qualities of God. Specifically, Dr. Baumann examines physics experiments that reveal Light to be omnipresent (everywhere), omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), and conscious! Finally, references equating God to Light throughout the world's religious literature are analyzed. The case is made that Light and God may be more than just intimately related. NONDENOMINATIONAL 2 Hr.
2) "LIFE AND CREATION - SERENDIPITY OR DESIGN?": Evidence of design in our universe are discussed, including the earth's unusual orbit in our solar system. (The earth is the only planet in our solar system to not fit the exponential pattern predicted by cosmology.) This unusual orbit is further punctuated by the fact that only the earth is positioned for the existence of liquid water and temperate climate to allow the "development" of life. The second law of thermodynamics or entropy dictates that an infinite amount of organization existed at the time of the Big Bang. The laws of nature are examined as to their fine-tuning to have allowed the formation of life-providing substances, e.g., carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. The odds against the existence of life in the universe are analyzed, as well as quotes from the world's greatest scientists in support of design. Dr. Baumann reviews how the Six Days of Genesis are scientifically consistent with the Biblical Genesis. The fossil record confirms that Darwinian evolution can not explain the plethora of life which exists on planet earth. The scientific data and facts undeniably support design in the Universe. NONDENOMINATIONAL 2 Hr.
3) "HUMAN OBSERVATION AND OUR PERCEPTION OF REALITY": Physics and other scientific experiments are presented which show that human observation is required for our reality to exist as we know it. Properties of light waves are examined as a primer before investigation of these experiments. Multiple experiments are presented which all reach the same conclusion --- our reality exists only because human consciousness exists! Again, the world's greatest minds are quoted to emphasize the significance of these findings and stress why most physicists believe in God. NONDENOMINATIONAL 1 Hr.
4) "HIDDEN DIMENSIONS": Quantum physics (specifically, string theory) dictates the existence of 10 or 26 total dimensions, not the four that we recognize in everyday life. Could these extra dimensions be hiding the dimensions of the spiritual and psychic worlds? NONDENOMINATIONAL 1 Hr.
5) "CONFRONTING THE HOLY GRAIL CONSPIRACIES": Several popular books and "theologians" argue that Jesus never performed any miracles, was married to Mary Magdalene, had children, may have never died on the cross, and spent His last days in France. The authors explain that the Gospels were corrupted unintentionally by translational errors and/or intentionally by the Orthodox Church. Most, if not all, of these "arguments" are based on pure speculation and conjecture, although they are presented as fact. They are additionally "supported" by a handful of Apocryphal and Gnostic texts. The inquiring mind should not be swayed by these false visions. This presentation offers the FACTS, citing multiple credible religious scholars, supportive archaeological findings, Biblical and non-Biblical literary and historical evidence. Even Edgar Cayce weighs in on his support of the scriptures. The scriptures ARE reliable! 2 Hr. ***WARNING: THIS IS A HIGHLY OPINIONATED LECTURE THAT DEFENDS THE NEW TESTAMENT GOSPELS AND MAY OFFEND SOME NATURALISTS***
DR. BAUMANN CHARGES $200 for the first 2 hour presentation, and $150 for each additional 2 hour presentation (or two 1-hour presentations), plus travel expenses.

VI) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q1) In God at the Speed of Light, you referred to the "seat of the soul" concerning the right temporal lobe of the brain. I have read about this in other literature where this area is considered a "conduit" connecting mind-body-spirit. If researchers are able to create an NDE in the lab, doesn't that mean that the NDE is just another type of hallucination?
A1) All of the points you mention are controversial. I personally do not believe in an anatomic "seat of the soul." The concepts you mention are merely opinions of various researchers to try to explain their findings. I believe NDE-type experiences, stimulated by chemicals (drugs) and brain electrodes, may simply reflect the brain tapping into the "cosmic consciousness," the quality of omniscience manifested by Light.
Q2) You refer to the light that NDE-ers experience. Why are they not all (more-or-less) the same?
A2) I wish I had the answer to that--everyone IS different. Perhaps the Light or Being-of-Light IS the same, and it is merely the perception (memory) of the NDE-er that is different? Certainly, there are also individuals who experience NO Light. I am always struck by the recurrent stories, for those trapped in darkness and sometimes being pulled and grabbed at by dark apparitions, that if they cry out for God or Christ to save them, the Light appears! Perhaps each person requires a special, individual experience, depending upon his or her particular karma and Earthly experience?
Q3) Dr. Pim van Lommel in his 2001 Lancet article observed that only about 18% of the resuscitated patients had an NDE. What do you know about this?
A3) In Dr. van Lommel’s excellent study (see http://www.zarqon.co.uk/Lancet.pdf), he lists a 12-18% NDE rate, but even he notes in the article: "In retrospective studies, between 43% and 48% of adults and up to 85% of children who had a life-threatening illness were estimated to have had an NDE." Although the percentages are of interest, the only conclusion seems to be that some individuals are slated for NDEs while others are not. From neither this nor any other study should anyone draw conclusions relative to someone’s spirituality (or lack thereof) or their status before God.
Q4) What are your thoughts regarding ghosts, clairvoyance, and other paranormal phenomena?
A4) I believe in the reality of these phenomena, but, like anything else, beware of charlatans. Some of us are blessed with such gifts, while others (like myself) are not. Some, likewise, require these experiences for their spirituality; others do not. Some require only faith. For me, science has supplied the answers. No one path is right or wrong--only the result. I DO believe--and have observed--that a spiritual foundation, backed by science, serves to give a much-needed support to those believers confronting their mortality for the first time.
Q5) How do you define "clinical death?" Also, what are your thoughts on the "dying brain" theory?
A5) Although there are many "when is one dead?" studies dealing with blood flow to the brain and brain waves (etc.), the vast majority of people are pronounced dead due to the absence of any detectable vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, respirations) and nerve responses (reflexes). I personally don't believe in the dying brain theory to explain the NDE--there are too many medical exceptions to the contrary. I DO believe the NDE is real--and medically supported (see again Dr. van Lommel's Lancet article).
Q6) I read recently that the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) can be decreased when traveling through various mediums. I did not think the speed of light could be altered.
A6) Light is unusual in that it does NOT require a medium through which to travel. The speed of light IS CONSTANT when traveling through a vacuum. However, its speed may be altered (slowed) by making it travel through various mediums. A Bose-Einstein condensate, for example, has even been cited at stopping light (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_condensate).
Q7) Is "Earth time" different than "space time?" Wasn't the Earth created in six "Earth days" per the Biblical narrative in Genesis?
A7) I prefer Gerald Schroeder's discussion (explained in God at the Speed of Light) that the Universe was created in six “Universal days”--not Earth days, since the Earth was not created until day 3 in Genesis. Schroeder’s mathematically-based definition of the “six [Universal] days of Genesis” completely and beautifully melds both the creation and scientific scenarios (encompassing about 16 billion Earth years).
Q8) The odds of the universe being formed by chance (per God at the Speed of Light) are 10^10^30. What whole number does this represent?
A8) It takes too many zeroes to write the number out: The answer is 10 multiplied by itself 10 times . . . then take that number and multiply it by itself 30 times . . . that’s a lot of zeroes!
Q9) With so much evidence pointing towards intelligent design (God), why do you think there are still so many atheists in this day and age?
A9) Great question. I suspect too many scientists just dismiss the available scientific evidence outright--or refuse to even look at the data. They would rather believe--ironically--that the Universe was simply created at the time of the Big Bang from NOTHING!
