I don't believe in Christianity primarily because of the brain

You referenced an article about a "theory" that doesn't rise to the level of theory (and arguably not even a scientific hypothesis) and that provides no evidence for its speculations. Yet you want to cite it as evidence that "science" doesn't rule out the possibility of a soul, however ill-defined 'soul' may be, and you decline to take any responsibility for providing anything like a workable definition that might be fruitful in a scientific context.

Yeah, I get it just fine.

So, you get it, but decide to default to a unsubstantiated sweeping dismissal and to end with a quip instead...

So riddle me this... what is it you think you get?

Because all I see here is more of the same. You fail to address the subject and move to dismiss with a personal evaluation based on nothing more than an insult made to stick with your standing in this peer group. You do know that out side this little safe haven, you by word thought and deed seem to 'get' nothing.

So . . . your response to my dismissal of your link as lacking in substance and evidence is to claim that I fail to address the subject, which is odd since the subject of my post pretty clearly has to do with the piss poor "evidence" you cite that there's anything like a real scientific debate taking place. And personal evaluation? As opposed to what? Impersonal evaluation? Yes, I personally think the article you referenced fails to present any evidence for Biocentrism's speculations (which are really just the usual old Idealist talking points dressed up in quantum woo), much less give any reason to class it as a legitimate scientific theory. You do know the criteria of good scientific theories, right?

But go on and bray and strut as you usually do. Whatever floats your boat, Drich. No one really cares about your comical need to appear to win at all costs, any more than they do with Huggy's similar affliction. However, if you ever get around to pointing out how Biocentrism rises to the level of theory or where in the article you linked to any evidence is presented, I'll be most interested. While you're at it, perhaps you can explain how Biocentrism leads to something other than solipsism. Until then . . . .
