The Seat of Man's Intellect: What Says Your God?

[Ronkonkoma]

Using religion to answer what I consider a medical question is a recipe for disaster.

Intellect is no doubt "seated" in the brain, which we don't have a clue how it works to produce a thought. On the other hand, psychiatrists recognize the brain as "the organ of purpose". Like the liver is producing bile. The brain is producing reasons to keep living, endure suffering, sacrifice for a cause, etc.

Intellect is different from the soul, which is the core of personhood, desire, values, and spirituality.

I would say, these things are registered and put into context by the brain, but they are not necessarily originating from the brain. An analogy would be a radio set that doesn't actually contain a small person inside, but is rather receiving and processing radio waves from outside.
