Has Science done away with a need for God?

According to conventional physicists, these particles are not conscious.

Therefore, there is no reason to conclude the brain is conscious.

The brain has no more ability to spawn consciousness than a rock does.

But we are conscious so this proves the brain is producing consciousness—because, where else could we look for an explanation?  Which is called circular reasoning. Meaning: you already assume what you’re trying to prove.

Bottom line? All conventional scientific arguments for the brain as the “place of consciousness” are futile and absurd. And this leads to something beyond scientific and philosophic materialism.

It leads to non-material consciousness.

So cellular cooperation and interactive effects are impossible now are they?

The computer you are typing on is composed of millions of components that can only work as a basic on-off switch, but in great numbers and cooperation, it will display this forum post when you surf to this internet address.

The idea that the "conciousness" is not connected to the brain cells has been thoroughly debunked. Mind affecting drugs are a good example of this. If your Mind was apart from your brain, it wouldn't be affected by the chemicals that affect the individual brain cells.

Why don't you try a little honesty instead? Is your income derived from hoodwinking little old ladies into giving you their Social Security check for tithes to your imaginary god?
