////Also, just because we don't know everything *about* how the mind comes from the brain, doesn't detract from the knowledge that it's doing it somehow. Again, what else could reasonably be hypothesized?////

Except you haven't hypothesized anything. You're making a dogmatic statement and apparently expecting people to buy it. Either you have a scientific experiment that proves your assertion or you have a logical argument.

The only thing that has been experimentally proven is that consciousness collapses the wave function into a particle, into matter. That HAS been experimentally proven. So it is highly unlikely that the brain-which is matter-produces the agent necessary to create matter from quantum waves. If this doesn't prove that the brain does not and cannot make consciousness, it very strongly indicates it. Now, what do you have to proves this not to be true? Just saying "what else could it be?" won't cut it. It could be a lot of things. You have to make a case.
