I can't say I find the Galileo Commission to be particularly compelling. It is authored by people who are inclined toward non-materialism, and I get the sense that they care more about consciousness existing beyond the physical brain than discovering what is true. This isn't to wholly dismiss it, there is good work and smart people behind it, but I think it has a pretty heavy agenda.

And, this may be petty, but the self-comparison to the maligned Galileo is rather off-putting.
