I suspect that it does. Praying for something to fly isn't as effective as working out the principles of lift.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Destroy the car and the driver still exists. Destroy the brain and you destroy consciousness.
If it wasn't so then anesthetic wouldn't work and we wouldn't care about neuro-degenerative diseases or use narcotics.

Wrong again Mat.
Has already been proven that when a brain is destroyed the consciousness live on.
You can't destroy energy and consciousness.
They are the two sides of the same sheet.
NDEs already proved that.

Provide peer reviewed publication of reproducible, falsifiable evidence obtained using lab conditions published in a reputable journal otherwise admit that you're wrong. Because if what you are saying really was correct and that proof of NDEs had been achieved then the above would be easy to obtain.
Consciousness is easy to destroy.

All explainable by science.
Numbers, Maths and logic are human inventions used to describe reality. Without humans they would not exist.
Ethics are a product of society and evolved instincts.
Human consciousness is a product of the brain.
We don't know that scientific laws cannot be explained using the scientific method.

Matilda, you are so ignorant and misguided I don't even know where to begin. So I guess if I had to to choose just one example of your idiocy it would be mathematics as a human invention. Are you saying that the value of pi is not an objective fact that is independent of any sentient being's knowledge of it? That strains credulity.

Do you not understand that math is a language created by humans to describe observations of the universe?

Wow. As Neo said, there is a lot wrong with this.
You might want to look up Scientism (which is what you are espousing).
