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

It's not only insufficient, it's not even relevant to the question at hand. Nobody has argued against neurology, neuropsychology or science. What I'm arguing is that you do not know WHAT about the brain allows for qualia, and that some levels of organization aren't unique to the brain.


Quote:  A psychogeny sans nuerology is, itself, an empty set within the context of our current understanding of mind, and what evidence is available.  Mind comes from...wait for it.....-the brain-.  I'm not going to humor your request that I produce evidence of that, you're aware of it...you must be, to consider it unsatisfying to begin with.    

The qualitative human mental experience is for sure of the brain. The existence of mind rather than the lack of existence of mind is not demonstrably so. I'd call that qualitative experience "psychology," and the existential question "psychogony."
