Anyone read the new book "Return to Life" by Dr Jim Tucker? What do you think about it?

Why do you think threads like "consciousness and the paranormal" lead to such endless spiritual vs materialist worldview debates on the forum? Is there any chance people can arrive at a common ground and advance the discussion or are we just hopelessly entrenched with our respective worldviews?

Could you imagine the holographic universe to be true? Maybe our consciousness or whatever memories turn up in the cases Dr Tucker describes is information in a gigantic cosmic "computer"? Would that unify spirtual and materialist standpionts or would one or both sides find that unacceptable?
