Since droping something into a black hole will destroy any information in it better than any other method any idea that a soul, whatever that is, would retain the complexity to rember stuff is silly. 

What do I think of this? It is trivial nonsense. The specific comparisons are puerile and facile. Anyone could concoct similar imagined parallels for anything. Why do you think this is of any interest or importance?

Let me tell you what has really happened here.

Very clever people called scientists have formed a family of complex theories to explain certain observed phenomena and earlier theoretical findings going back over 100 years. The physical manifestions of these theories have popularly been called black holes. Note the plural - the theories predict very many of them, everywhere in the Universe. Ongoing scientific observations and further theoretical work have confirmed the existence of these 'black holes' to a high degree of certainty, although the exact workings of them and how they interact with the known laws of physics remains the subject of much debate and conjecture. Nevertheless, the discovery ('discovery' meaning the theories' consistency with a compelling body of theoretical work and ongoing and improving observations) is one of the towering achievements of the human race. The leading scientists behind this work should be viewed with awe and admiration.

Now then, something else happened...

There are some disreputable, not very intelligent people who are always looking for dubious arguments to support their particular view of the world. These people looked around and stumbled across the black hole concept. They didn't understand it at all well, but they did quickly see how a few of the simplistic, popular descriptions of black holes could be twisted and bent until they appeared (to an ill-informed audience) to fit fairly well with some of their own insubstantiated theories about the world. The fit was pretty rubbish in truth, and needed them to ignore all the stuff that DIDN'T fit the argument, but they knew that their audience would be delighted to soak up this nonsense and convince themselves that the parallels were utterly convincing. It was perfect. The fraudsters didn't even need to try very hard. They knew the faithful would do all the work for them. And so it came to pass.

Christ, its depressing. Is this the sort of thing that helps convince people of their faith?? If so, it just goes to demonstrate how threadbare and pathetic that faith is, and how utterly impossible it is to get people to see sense.

Let me quote to you some verse from Quran that suits you= 43|36|Whoever shuns the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We assign for him a devil, to be his companion. 43|37|They hinder them from the path, though they think they are guided. 43|40|Can you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind, and him who is in evident error?

What has that got to do with black holes?
