Maybe we can't *SEE* thought, but we can get understandable responses to whatever you want to call our awareness by making noises and making marks on paper....and we can attach electrodes to the head and watch needles jump when certain stimuli are introduced.

These are indications...predictable and measurable in certain ways. Now you may call the underlying causes 'thought' or just call 'em electro-chemical reactions, but we DO stuff with them. Most supposed paranormal and religious 'entities' can't be 'measured' in any truly similar way.

I repeat...we need to quit trying to measure, evaluate and describe them with similar terminology.
