Amos is correct. To my knowledge, no one has proven the brain creates the mind. Science still doesn't even know what consciousness is or where in the body it resides which implies that it is not a gimme that it arises in the brain even if it has a material origin.

I brought up earlier that Quantum Mechanics has experimentally proven that consciousness, not the brain, collapses the wave function and wherever it collapses that is where we locate the particle. It is illogical in the extreme that a brain made of matter creates the very thing that collapses the wave function into matter. This was summarily dismissed by someone who simply said it ain't so.

The skeptics have become the thing they hate--creationists. Both reject science when it doesn't support them but will unhesitatingly shout it from the mountaintops when they think it does.

And remember, telling me my argument is tautological or illogical or unworkable is pointless without a counterargument to offer in its place. I have asked for them several times and have not yet received one. All I get it is, "Sorry but this just isn't right." Or I'm told science has disproven this or that notion when I know damned well it hasn't and no further information is offered by the poster.

I'm afraid I must DEMAND to be disproven not just dismissed.
