What God is to the Universe is what your mind is to your body

You insinuated that before the scientific theories behind electomagnetism were developed (initially by James Clerk Maxwell), it operated in a much different way than it does now. You are massively wrong on this, as discovery of how something works doesn't alter the way in which it works, it alters our understanding of how it works, changing our understanding from a false one to a true one. My point stands, you don't understand science, you don't understand reality.

Well then why are all your posts an elaboration of the goddidit conjecture? Why else are you trying to denigrate science by strawmanning it? If you look like a theist, swim like a theist and quack like a theist, a reasonable assumption is that you're a theist.

Not what I said and you know it. What I said is that any electromagnetic field or pulse (or other electromagnetic phenomenon) affects the brain in the same way as any other system which uses electrical impulses to operate. Anyway, how would the brain being electomagnetic help your goddidit conjecture, prey?
I insinuated no such thing, I said it was considered hocus mysterious pocus by people before it was explored and mapped out. Your assertion fails and is moot opinion.

So in your imagination, "goddidit" = no discoverable pattern in nature, no regular laws, nothing can be measured or mapped? Strange assumption.

It wasn't an answer to "goddidit" it was an answer to the operational force of the mind. If I asked you how a motorcycle works, I wouldn't expect that information to tell me about traffic laws.
