thewholesoul is still noticeably absent. Is it possible he has no experimental evidence? That surely can't be, because that would be contrary to his understanding of science and his standards of evidence, and would thus disprove his own beliefs.

Yoo hoo! Whole soul!! Over here!!!!
The sun operates in much the same way as a stage spotlight. Combine that with refraction and you get an illusion of sunrise/set.

Yes. It is nukking futs, but that is the claim.
