I have the feeling that I've done this before because, as a matter of fact, I have done this before! But there's nothing paranormal about that. It's a *similar* experience. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-56399802233229250962013-04-01T14:04:41.555-04:002013-04-01T14:04:41.555-04:00Could it be paranormal?

Sure, why not, as long as it fits God's revelation of the supernatural?<br /><br />However, déjà vu isn't addressed in the Bible, by which a paranormal explanation isn't necessary. So there could be a neurological explanation like the "scientific" speculation in Steve's article or the one Reformed Apologist gave.<br /><br />The best answer I think we have is that we don't know.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-53109387934208889752013-03-31T20:23:00.672-04:002013-03-31T20:23:00.672-04:00I've sometimes wondered whether deja vu is som...I've sometimes wondered whether deja vu is sometimes simply the result of being in a situation without all that is occurring registering fully and then a moment later remembering what had just happened as if it happened during a completely different time phrame. In other words "making conscious" of something that just happened because at the time it actually happened, even a split second prior, thoughts were elsewhere.

Do other organisms like insects even have memories? <br /><br />I guess though reincarnationists could rule out all déjà vu except for in human reincarnations. But say someone was a male in a past life. Isn't it possible to be reincarnated as a female? (Or vice versa.) Males and females can have subtle but arguably different memories of the same event.<br /><br />But maybe reincarnationists could also shoehorn déjà vu into this if they keep the déjà vu experience vague enough. But I would think the more vague a déjà vu is the less likely it is due to a paranormal phenomenon like reincarnation. So there's a tradeoff here.Patrick Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095377877712197984noreply@blogger.com
