The Object of History | Behind the Scenes with the Curators of the National Museum of American History Weight of the Soul Claim: A physician once placed dying patients upon a scale in order to measure the weight of the human soul. Example:[Evans, 1946] Those who believe that the body becomes lighter [at the moment of death] seem to think that the soul has weight, weight that must of necessity depart with it, and — with that brisk disregard of strict veracity which so frequenly marks discussions of this nature — have claimed that dying men, at the very moment of their decease, have been placed on delicate scales that have recorded their mortuary degravitation.

Digital History “I Was Raised an Atheist” — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY “I Was Raised an Atheist” PROFESSOR František Vyskočil of Charles University, Prague, is internationally known for his research in neurophysiology. Once an atheist, he now firmly believes in God. In an interview with Awake! Professor Vyskočil explains why he changed his viewpoint. What was your view of religion before you started your career in science? I was raised an atheist, and my father often made fun of the clergy. Tell us a little about your career in science. In my postdoctoral work, I studied the chemical and electrical properties of nerve synapses. Did you ever think about God? In a sense, yes. How did you come to change your view of evolution? My doubts about evolution began when I was studying synapses. Then, in the early 1970’s, I attended a lecture by a famous Russian scientist and professor. Later, in the lobby, I asked the professor if he was serious about the Bible. How did the professor’s comments affect you? Has your change of view hindered your scientific research?
